Graduate Programs
These
courses in Health Economics represent an exciting new venture – the
first of its kind in the world. They
are an international (largely on-line) distance learning program in
health economics for (primarily non-economist) health care professionals
and researchers. The
courses do not require any time in Australia; they can be done wholly at
a distance. With
ever increasing demands on health care resources, there has in recent
years been a growing awareness of the role of health economics in
informing policy in the health care sector. Throughout
the world, health authorities, hospitals, government departments and
other bodies, charged with the responsibility of the financing,
provision and evaluation of health services, have increasingly turned to
health economics to assist in their decision making. The
Director of the Course is Professor Gavin Mooney.
Gavin has been working in health economics for 30 years and, with
over 200 publications and 15 books to his name, he has an international
reputation as a health economist. He
is also a highly respected educator and has previously directed distance
learning courses in health economics in the Nordic countries and the UK
(both for non-economists) and an international course based in Tromso in
Norway for economists. For
