COURSE DESCRIPTION
The two-year Master of Public Health /Master of Infectious Disease Intelligence (Extension) dual extension program is an innovative approach to postgraduate health education providing students with the advanced disciplinary knowledge and skills required to improve population health outcomes specific to the control of infectious diseases and health emergencies across a range of contexts and settings.
The MIDIext gives you the opportunity to extend your knowledge and skills in public health by completing additional research methodology courses and/or an advanced research project in an infectious disease-related topic.
In an era of emerging and re-emerging infectious disease threats, the public health approach to understanding and controlling the spread of infectious diseases in populations requires a multisectoral approach. You will learn core skills including epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, health policy planning and management and those required to address the challenges of the social determinants of health. This is complemented by an advanced understanding of the public health aspects of infectious disease surveillance and intelligence, outbreak investigation and response, infection prevention and mitigation.
The research component provides you with additional, specialised skills in research design and execution. These skills are required to generate evidence that enhances infectious disease prevention and control as well as for roles that involve developing research strategy, funding and evaluating research.
Our MPH/MIDIext fosters judgement-ready practitioners who can contribute to improving population health outcomes specific to the control of infectious diseases across a range of contexts and settings, supported by scholarly evidence-based professional practice in infectious diseases intelligence.
The MPH/MIDIext program is relevant for professionals working or seeking a research or population health career in government, non-government, military and first responder organisations, primary care, community and health service settings in public and private sectors in Australia and internationally.
