The course is specifically designed for professionals working within the health care sector who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in the management of health services. It provides core competencies in health services management, including leadership, human resource and financial management of health services that can be built upon in the Graduate Diploma in Health Services Management and then the Master of Health Services Management or the Master of Public Health.
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate discipline and relevant professional experience. The department will individually assess applications from students without a three-year degree.
Most units have a 15-hour block of face-to-face teaching in
Melbourne during one week of the semester. Units are coordinated to allow
students to attend the teaching sessions of two units in the same week. The
teaching sessions are interactive and experiential and aim to discuss, clarify
and reinforce the course content and assessment requirements. A number of guest
lecturers who are recognised experts in the health services management field
are involved. Block teaching is followed by weekly internet-based coursework
for
most units.
The course comprises 24 credit points and consists of two core and two elective units taken over a 12-month period of two part-time semesters. It is not offered on a full-time basis.
Assessment consists of written assignment, web-based tasks, individual and group presentations.
