Transitioning to Community-Based Allied Health Practice CXA713
Introduction
This unit consolidates knowledge and skills related to leadership and public health and synthesises them with business skills critical for allied health professionals working in community-based settings or moving into business within health care. Principles of population health are used to examine the health and health inequities for select populations and match appropriate change action frameworks to population health issues in community-based practice settings. Forms of health care entrepreneurship are examined as a context for students to develop entrepreneurial attributes, including creativity, innovation, ethical public health analysis and critical abilities needed for work readiness in our complex and ever-changing world.
