Infectious diseases, both emerging and re-emerging, are growing at a rapid pace in developing countries. Population growth, urbanisation, increased travel and migration (internal and external), and changing ecosystems are just some of the factors contributing to changes in disease epidemiology. There is an urgent need to develop the capacity of the health workforce in their knowledge of the theory and principles of control of infectious diseases in this evolving scenario. The Graduate Certificate in Infectious Disease Intelligence aims to impart skills in effective management or control of infectious diseases. Students can study online or combine this with intensive workshops offered in Term 1, 2 or 3. Student chooses from a range of specialty courses in infectious diseases including HIV control, immunisation practice, and Infectious Disease Challenges: Epidemiology and Control. The program articulates with the Master in Infectious Diseases Intelligence and Graduate Diploma in Infectious Diseases Intelligence. This program is aimed at health professionals who seek to increase their capacity around the management of infectious disease control strategies and those who wish to change to a career in infectious disease epidemiology. This program offers an entirely web-based study program enabling participants to effectively integrate their learning into their daily professional life without the costly disruption that face-to-face coursework entails. Individual courses within the Program have been developed so as to provide a practice-based and authentic approach to this field of study.
