Teaching, Capacity Building and Future Leaders
The Institute provides an enhanced interface between its world-class research facilities and teaching through the co-location of primary care undergraduate teaching and Master’s programmes.
BUILDING A KNOWLEDGE POWERHOUSE
We continue to build our multidisciplinary teams of experts and invest in our staff with key skills training and engage in knowledge transfer through partnerships with industry and health care providers around the world.
The Institute will have a programme of visiting scholars, curating the exchange of expertise across disciplines and international settings.
In 2022 we launched two innovative Masters programmes: Applied Digital Health, an interdisciplinary learning experience, spanning medicine, social and behavioural science, economics, engineering, artificial intelligence, and data science, and Global Health Leadership, to develop experienced leaders with the skills to deliver affordable, effective and efficient healthcare in complex global systems. In addition, we have a Masters in Translational Health Sciences - the social science of innovation: taking an interdisciplinary and applied approach to the challenges of implementing innovations and research discoveries in a healthcare setting, and a Masters in Evidenced-Based Health Care in which our world-class programme of part-time graduate courses and professional short courses is designed to meet the interests and professional requirements of clinicians, scientists and researchers, working in a wide range of disciplines.
