Course description
PUBH7120 prepares students for working in the public health field. Knowledge acquired throughout the Master of Public Health program is further developed to fine-tune cross-cutting skills in leadership, communication and advocacy, systems thinking and knowledge translation. Learning activities and assessment items have been designed to reflect the nature of public health work environment and to provide students with the ability to make a more effective and efficient contribution to it in the future. Students will have the opportunity to prepare advice for a Minister of Health on an important public health issue and work collaboratively to critically analyse public health cases.
