Our dual MHLM/MGH program combines two highly sought-after programs. You will graduate work-ready with essential knowledge, skills and attributes to carry out leadership and management roles in population health, clinical settings and departmental health services. These critical skills can be applied to a broad range of complex population and health service issues in local and global settings. The program uses a multi-disciplinary approach which recognises the relationships between global health and delivery of healthcare.
Our MHLM/MGH includes a multidisciplinary program of study aimed at developing global health leaders. You will gain core skills in strategic planning, policy development, change management, quality enhancement, and decision-making. These are complemented by core public health skills in epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion and skills required to address the challenges of the social determinants of health. You will learn to draw on this interdisciplinary knowledge and research to address global health challenges, including the politics of global health, globalisation, decolonisation, human rights and the environment.
The MHLM/MGH program fosters judgement-ready critically reflexive practitioners who can lead, manage and improve health services and health systems and contribute to improving public health outcomes in diverse settings, drawing on a global health perspective.
Graduates typically find employment across a range of employers, including in government ministries and departments of Health, NGOs, primary care and community healthcare services, hospital settings in the public and private sectors in Australia.
