Master of Health Services Management and Leadership
With health systems facing increasing pressure from a range of challenges – from population ageing and rising chronic disease to resourcing constraints and digital transformation – there is a need for leaders who can manage complex organisations and steer change across diverse health and human service settings.
This master degree is designed to accelerate your career development into senior management, leadership, advisory and consultancy roles, as well as research pathways.
You will learn how to deliver evidence-informed decisions, strategies and innovation to respond to demographic, epidemiological, political, economic, sociocultural and technological health-system challenges and opportunities. Combined, this knowledge will give you the capability to respond to health sector demands, improve organisational performance, lead health system transformation and foster equitable population health outcomes.
Upon completing the course, you'll have the leadership expertise required to contribute to stronger, more sustainable healthcare and human service organisations.
Curtin University is seeking professional accreditation for this course through the Australasian College of Health Service Management.
