COURSE DESCRIPTION
The two-year Master of Global Health/Master of Infectious Diseases Intelligence (Extension) dual extension program is an innovative approach to postgraduate health education providing students with an advanced and integrated understanding of global public health focused on infectious diseases epidemiology and control that can be applied to local and global settings including resource constrained, middle income and developed countries. The MGH/MIDIext program meets a well-recognised need to strengthen capacity to respond to new and emerging disease threats, and management approaches for the identification, assessment, prevention and control of infectious diseases within resource-constrained settings in global contexts. The MIDIext provides the opportunity for students to extend their knowledge and skills in infectious diseases intelligence research by completing additional research methodology courses and/or an advanced research project in an infectious disease-related topic.
Graduates are equipped with core public health skills including epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, health policy, planning and management and those required to address the challenges of the social determinants of health together with advanced understanding of the public health aspects of infectious disease surveillance and intelligence, outbreak investigation and response, infection prevention and mitigation. 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, a MGH/MIDIext program provides students with the capacity to draw on interdisciplinary knowledge and research to address global health challenges, including the politics of global health, globalisation, decolonisation, human rights and the environment. By undertaking an extension program, graduates leave with an integrated understanding of the specialised skills required to undertake research and generate evidence that enhances infectious disease prevention and control.
The program fosters judgment-ready, global public health leaders who can contribute to professional public health practice in the control of infectious diseases and health emergencies and improving population health across a range of contexts.
Graduates typically find work through a range of employers, including bilateral and multilateral international aid organisations, UN-based and development-based organisations, civil society and other non-government organisations, private foundations, health departments, academia, organisations, military and first responder organisations, primary care and community healthcare services in both public and private sectors.
