Excellence in Health Series
Tomorrow’s Thinking ~ Today’s Care
The School of Health Administration routinely received requests from the public and the professional community for an open forum where the full spectrum of healthcare topics could be discussed. Responding to such requests, in 2008 the School of Health Administration established a public-education program entitled, Excellence in Health Series.
The Excellence in Health Series is designed to provide an open forum, equally accessible to the public and professional community. The lectures provide a ‘large-canvas’, upon which cutting-edge topics are discussed, from healthcare planning and management, healthcare funding and delivery, healthcare law and legislation, to healthcare policy. All members of the public are welcomed, as are healthcare professionals, from healthcare practitioner, policy analyst, lawyer, to healthcare administrator. To maximally engage the public, the series is held in the evenings, off campus, at a local Hotel, and no admission fee is charged.
The Excellence in Health Series will feature national and internationally lecturers, each respected for their leadership on the topic of discussion. Three lectures will be held each year. To ensure maximum learning opportunity to the public and professional communities throughout the region, nationally and internationally, the Excellence in Health Series is digitally recorded and made available through the School of Health Administration website.
