Details for MAN534 Managerial Epidemiology 

Health data is only powerful when leaders know how to use it. Managerial Epidemiology teaches you to read epidemiological evidence, analyse health and workforce data, and turn the findings into decisions about strategy, risk and resources. You’ll explore outbreaks and organisational resilience, workforce health, predictive analytics and population health. You’ll finish able to explain complex evidence clearly to executives and make recommendations that strengthen organisational and public health.
