Students will develop advanced critical understanding of how challenges to population health and wellbeing have been addressed over time, and how population health and wellbeing goals have been pursued by communities and countries. Public health concepts, eras, systems, bodies of knowledge and practices will be analysed, equipping students to undertake independent investigations into contemporary, emerging and future challenges for health such as: health governance and leadership, demographic shifts, technology innovation, and climate change. Students working in health care services, professions, organisations and systems will gain insights into clinical health care as part of the 'organised effort' of public health systems. Appreciation will be developed of contributions by various sectors, institutions, professions and groups to health and solving health problems. Virtual and/or actual site visits will enable students to link learning to real contexts and issues. The subject will prepare students to reflect on their research project in terms of its scope, focus and method and its relationship to population health and wellbeing.
