This
course, offered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine,
assists clinicians and public health professionals to become familiar with
clinical research methodology and upgrade their skills in epidemiology. The
course may be completed in one year full-time or over two years part-time. This
degree provides a detailed understanding of the units of epidemiology and
biostatistics to a level that enables critical and detailed appraisal of
epidemiological literature and the conduct of projects requiring
epidemiological and biostatistical expertise. The course articulates with the
Master of Clinical Epidemiology or the Master of Public Health.
Applicants must have a medical degree, a bachelors degree with honours or
graduate diploma, or a three-year degree with at least two years relevant
professional experience in a health-related field. The department will
individually assess applications from students without a three-year degree but
with extensive relevant professional experience. In such instances, the
department may require completion of the Graduate Certificate in Clinical
Trials before enrolling in the graduate diploma.
This course is comprised of four core units and four elective units.
Assessment includes written assignments and examinations.
