Public Health in Practice (POPH90227)

This subject is a capstone subject within the Master of Public Health. Students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the pre-requisite subjects to real-world scenarios through a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach. In this subject it will be demonstrated how knowledge of the health status of the population and the environmental, biological, behavioural, cultural and social determinants of health are essential to identify and implement interventions to improve and protect health in an effective, efficient and equitable manner. Contemporary population health issues will be explored to critically appraise different population-based preventive strategies and evaluate the impact of interventions.
