USYD Global Health

USYD Global Health A page for those interested in news and events surrounding global health at USYD. The course also has relevance for public health in developed countries.

The Master of International Public Health (MIPH) is a coursework degree which aims to give you the basic professional training to enable you to work productively with international aid organisations and health departments in developing countries. The course focuses on themes such as causes of ill-health and premature mortality, determinants of health and quality of life, infectious disease and und

er-nutrition, and health in rural and urban contexts and in ethnically diverse populations. It also covers infrastructure development for disease control and health promotion, and relevant aspects of program design, implementation and evaluation. The approach of the MIPH combines:

* a human ecology perspective of health and disease
* expertise in relevant investigative methods
* evidence-based, culturally appropriate and cost-effective approaches to disease control, health promotion and health services development based on real life public health interventions
* developing of infrastructure for policy, research and evaluation in order to promote, protect and maintain the health of populations.

Global Health Student Mentoring Program

The MGH program is excited to introduce a new mentoring program to students from Semester 2. The program will allow students to build and strengthen networks between students and alumni, increase confidence through guidance and feedback for mentees, and presents an opportunity for mentors to gain experience sharing your work with others.

Mentors don’t need to have any specific skills of qualifications (except an MIPH or MGH 😊), just a willingness to give some insight into program for newer students.

If you are a currently enrolled student who would like to be connected with a Mentor, please sign up to become a Mentee via this form (https://sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1LCjd1uuoQKkil8).
