Leadership in Adolescent Health is a capstone option in the Master of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing (Leadership Specialisation). This subject enables participants to draw on the expertise developed throughout the course and apply it ‘real-time’ to a workplace or organisational change project. The project is focussed on the student’s work context, in order to embed, and reflect upon, the practical experience of leadership. It will be developed and overseen by both a professional and academic mentor. The student will work in consultation with their professional and academic mentors to (1) consult stakeholders and develop a project brief, and (2) undertake focussed activity and analysis, and (3) prepare a professional report for the supporting organisation. The student will present their report at the Capstone Presentation Day.
