Course description
This course introduces students to some of the major challenges faced by the Australian health system and examines some of the policy responses that have been developed to address those challenges. The course aims to develop basic skills relevant to both the development and analysis of policy responses, with particular emphasis on the gathering, analysis and synthesis of evidence from multiple sources and perspectives.
