Overview
This articulated program is designed for existing managers and practitioners looking to add management expertise to their existing skills base. It has a particular orientation to Indigenous health management and is applicable to remote areas in Australia and overseas. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island remote health managers and practitioners are encouraged to apply.
The three courses are offered in external mode through the Centre for Remote Health, a joint centre of Flinders University and the Charles Darwin University campus in Alice Springs. Some intensive blocks require study in Alice Springs or other centres.
The program of study provides students with a variety of skills, including the ability to:
- analyse their own cultural background and apply the insights gained to a study of the context and culture of remote health management in Australia
- recognise and analyse the key concepts underlying the development of health care systems in remote Australia
- practise as culturally safe managers
