Master of Healthcare Innovations

The health care landscape is changing and the way in which we currently educate the workforce will not prepare them to lead the type of health care required for the 21st century.  What is required is a workforce who can develop different models and systems of care, which will require new technologies, new business models and a disruptive value network to bring about systematic reform.  Are you an early to mid-career health professional, health administrator, health economist, academic, and looking for something different that will help you to view the health system through a different lens? Bond’s Master of Healthcare Innovations is an Australian first. During this program you will use design thinking, problem-solving, and systems thinking to apply the evidence to develop a deep knowledge of health and health care.  This will enable you to manage and educate people, innovate, influence, translate information and technology, to bring about the positive system change required to meet the health care needs of the Australian population. You will then apply this knowledge and skills through undertaking a joint project and capstone placement in a field of your choice.  The Master of Healthcare Innovations is offered full time over 3 semesters (one-year) or part-time, to enable busy health professionals to work at the same time. Most subjects also have intensive face to face workshops conducted concurrently with other subjects to enable you to attend face to face only once or twice per semester.  All other material will be offered using blended learning approaches that may include: using teaching sessions online, design thinking exercises, case studies, interactive presentations and podcasts, journal clubs, online modules, Transformer activities, capstone placements, and research activities where students get to innovate and apply the theory to their own practice.  This innovative program offers three exit points – Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master’s Degree.
