Health Policy
This information is for guidance only.
The requirements and progression rules for your study program will be in the Sydney Medical School Handbook.
Health Policy offers a critical perspective on the workings of our health care system. It emphasises that good policy is based on sound evidence and evaluation, but also recognises the role of political power, budgetary constraints and value choices.
