This program introduces health professionals from a range of backgrounds to the key elements of public health.

It allows them to explore population perspectives on health and disease, and health systems responses to these.

It introduces the necessary skills for analysing the patterns of disease in populations, their determinants and associated factors and provides an overview of behaviours that contribute to disease in the community, and the development and implementation of appropriate interventions.
