Course code: 0160
This course, offered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, gives health professionals the attitudes, skills and knowledge necessary to provide preventive health services to reduce the health impact of disease and injury resulting from workplace and community factors. The course caters for the special needs of medical practitioners, nurses, allied health personnel, scientists and OHS managers. The course articulates with the Master of Occupational and Environmental Health 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. In such instances the department may require completion of the Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health before enrolling in the graduate diploma.
The course is offered full-time over one year or part-time over two years by off-campus learning, with compulsory block requirements each semester. Students are required to complete five core units and one elective option.
* Recommended for articulation into the Master of Public Health.
Assessment includes web-based tasks, written assignments, examinations, practical exercises and student presentations.
