University of Melbourne - School of Population Health

The School of Population Health, comprising the Department of Public Health takes a population health approach to clinical medicine and molecular biology, mental health, health promotion, indegenous health and health care services, as well as traditional publi health areas of communicable and chronic diseases.

The new school is distinctive in Australia in its joining social sciences and medical humanities with epidemiology, biostatistics and biomedical sciences to focus on a population health approach to clinical medicine and molecular biology, mental health, indigenous health and health care services, as well as traditional public health areas of communicable and chronic diseases. We see this approach as providing a translational bridge between new technology developments in genomics and proteomics through health services and social structures to the population whose health we aim to protect and promote.
