Course Description
This innovative new program will give medical practitioners, midwives, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers and radiation therapists, and policy makers the opportunity to gain a Masters level qualification that enhances their professional practice and provides the widest range of options for the future.
This program is delivered online (except for Midwifery and paramedicine, which is on campus), offering the quality and recognition of a Monash postgraduate degree with the flexibility provided by the latest online delivery technologies.
The Master of Advanced Health Care Practice is interprofessional by nature. You complete a common unit, 'Essentials of advanced health care practice and research', which reflects the collaboration required in practice to deliver health care of the highest quality.
On completion of this unit, you then select one of the following specialisations:
* Midwifery
* Medical Imaging
* Occupational Therapy
* Paediatric Physiotherapy
* Paramedic Practice
* Primary Health Care
* Radiation Therapy
Students on an international visa may apply to study the Midwifery or Paramedic specialisations either in Australia on campus, or from your home country via online mode.
Other specialisations are not available to international students in Australia on a student visa (however, these other specialisations may be studied via online mode from your home country).
