GSH closes the gap between theory and practice with a unique approach to educational design. Everything we teach is practice based, research led and globally oriented. This means that in every learning activity, you will understand how the learning relates to your future professional practice; the evidence as to why it is done this way; and how it is situated in a global context.

Integrated subject matterEducation research, supported by our academic experience, demonstrates that effective learning occurs when students are active learners and are faced with an integrated curriculum. We have undergone extensive development to ensure our curricula incorporate content from practical, therapeutic and theoretical perspectives – a bedrock principle in the GSH Masters programs which is something quite unique to UTS.

INNOVATIVE, PRACTICE-BASED LEARNING

For example, in Week 4, Session 2 of the Master of Pharmacy, students undertake:

> A session on the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system and relevant medication

> A problem-based workshop looking at a real-life stroke case

> Professional services classes dealing with practical ways to help patients manage these conditions

> A related external clinical placement task.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Premkumar Gunasekaran Student, Master of Orthoptics

‘I chose the Master of Orthoptics because I had a real passion for pathology and always wanted to work with patients. I like that UTS is so practice-based. We are placed on a number of clinical placement sites and instantly gain the exposure one can only expect to receive once working. We start placement in session two of first year and already, I’ve been to three different sites. I have another five to go on, which include private and public settings and hospitals. Next session, we have either international or rural placement, which I’m really looking forward to!”

Kelsey Burns Student, Master of Pharmacy

‘I was recently awarded the Chemmart Community Innovation Scholarship which has greatly facilitated my learning at UTS. I’m currently mentored by a proficient team who have extensive expertise in professional services. I am able to apply what I’ve learnt at Chemmart into the classroom and vice versa. I’ll often remember seeing or hearing something which assists me in my understanding of concepts taught in the classroom. Being involved in counselling patients and understanding the business side of a pharmacy will ultimately give me an advantage in my journey to Community Pharmacy ownership’.

Raphaella Osborn Student, Master of Clinical Psychology

‘I started the internal clinical placement component of the course at the UTS Psychology Clinic, our onsite public facing clinic. It’s been a valuable experience that has exposed me to a whole array of clients of all age groups including children, which is unique. This diversity of experience is going to be valuable to my career. Also, the extensive supervision support I have received throughout my studies has definitely set my nerves at ease.’

7

Luke Harb Graduate, Master of Pharmacy

‘My career goal is to become a hospital pharmacist, and I was successful in securing my graduate internship at Royal North Shore and Ryde Hospital. Through the coursework and clinical placement program, UTS pharmacy equipped me with the skills and the exposure that I needed to secure my dream job. My one piece of advice for future students is to really involve yourself in the pharmacy world during your studies. Get involved in student representative bodies and counselling competitions to not only broaden your knowledge, but broaden your skills set to differentiate you as a pharmacist of the future.’

Professor Lynley BradnamHead of UTS: Physiotherapy

Professor Bradnam is a physiotherapist and neuroscientist with a special interest in neurological movement disorders. Her research uses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to understand how brain reorganisation can drive optimal or poor recovery of function. TMS is a painless, non-invasive method to stimulate the human brain and measure brain excitability, integrity of brain pathways and connections and brain reorganisation. Translation of this research to the clinic means therapists can apply interventions that target brain plasticity, to enhance recovery in conditions like stroke, dystonia and pain. “We are proud of the evolution of person-centered and evidence-based physiotherapy in recent decades and are committed to producing graduates who will continue to drive excellence in global healthcare environments of the future.”

OverviewDeveloped with experts who work in the healthcare system, the courses have a specific focus on health policy knowledge and skills, while drawing on the expertise of five key discipline areas. Each course is delivered within a unique interdisciplinary framework, synthesising coursework elements from health, business, communications, law and science and offering the ability to specialise in health economics, communication and learning, health services and planning or health law. Study core units in the areas of Indigenous studies, economics, policy, statistics and epidemiology. Through career-focused interdisciplinary learning, you will have the unique opportunity to learn from experts in each field who possess an up-to-date understanding of the challenges facing each aspect of health policy within Australia.

Career opportunitiesCareer options include positions in Commonwealth and state departments of health, community and consumer-based advocacy groups, government and not-for-profit organisations, local health districts, and non-government service providers.

Flexible entry and exit pointsYou can enter or exit this course at graduate diploma or graduate certificate stage, providing you meet the requirements of each. The graduate certificate in Health Policy articulates into the graduate diploma in Health Policy, which articulates into the masters course. You can also undertake a Master of Health Policy (Extension), for an extended and more detailed specialisation.

STAFF PROFILEAssociate Professor Mary Bebawy

Assoc. Professor Mary Bebawy is recognised as an international leader in her field. Her team are working on a range of diagnostic and treatment opportunities for cancers that have become resistant to multiple drugs. “Our research looks to define and understand a novel pathway which we discovered contributes to cancer multidrug resistance,” Assoc. Professor Bebawy says. “This research will provide fundamental knowledge as to how cancer cells resist the toxic effects of anti-cancer drugs.” Assoc. Professor Bebawy’s team is comprised of a number of research students, at PhD level, who are keen to translate their interest and expertise in cancer research into relevant research with real-world outcomes. “Here at GSH , there is a tremendous focus on ensuring that the research journey is positive for our students,” Assoc. Professor Bebawy says. “The facilities, infrastructure, technical expertise and support structures we have to offer enrich the HDR journey and ensure that our students are independent, highly skilled and qualified researchers at the end of their candidature.”

Rachelle CutlerPhD Candidate

‘I am examining the economic impact of medication nonadherence from a healthcare perspective. Through investigating the cost and negative consequences that medication nonadherence has on the healthcare system I will be able to provide greater insight into the efficient use of resources and policy development. I chose to complete my PhD at UTS because GSH provides me with many opportunities to connect with relevant industry partners and leading experts in my area of research. This has allowed me to build a platform for my future career whilst simultaneously completing extremely relevant and practical research in the field of pharmacy practice’.

Felicia Adinanto PhD Candidate

“My research is around the prevalence and risk factors of strabismus – a condition in which eyes do not correctly align with each other. I am focusing on the neonate intensive care units (ICU). Children who go through the ICU are four times more likely to develop strabismus versus children who don’t. I’m collecting data from children’s hospitals including Westmead, Sydney Children’s Hospital and Prince of Wales. The links UTS GSH has with the profession has helped to facilitate my research. I chose UTS because of the quality and expertise of the world-leading academics. I’m looking to forge my career at UTS and would like to join the academic cohort in Orthoptics”.
