Graduate Diploma of Preventive Medicine
Developed for health professionals seeking to respond within a broad patient-centred and evidence-based framework to the community's interest in prevention and healthcare participation. With unprecedented levels of good health in an ageing population many people seek information on all preventive treatments including non-pharmacological, complementary and alternative therapies. This course balances the study of evidence-based practice with community expectations, so that practising clinicians are better able to provide quality information and guidance on all health strategies.
