Health Services Research Courses
Graduate Program in
Health Services Research
and Development
Health is one of the largest industries in Australia.
There is a major ongoing need for staff skilled in
health service research techniques to enhance the efficiency, quality, sustainability and affordability of
health services. This need is increased by the current
focus on reform of the health system.
Health services research (HSR) strength comes
from the application of many disciplines to health
service issues including health economics,
quantitative and qualitative research methods, and
evaluation techniques. The Centre for Health Service
Development (CHSD) at the University of Wollongong
is one of the largest centres for Health Services
Research in Australia and that extensive experience
in the conduct of health services research is a core
underpinning of this new academic award.
The Graduate Certificate in Health Services Research
and Development will equip students with basic skills
required to understand and conduct health services research.
On successful completion of the Graduate Certificate
in Health Services Research and Development,
students may apply to enter the Masters of Health
Services (Research) program. Students may also wish
to supplement their skills in health services research
by also undertaking the Graduate Certificate in Survey Research methods or by undertaking the
Graduate Certificates in the Master of Public Health
program.
