The Health, Technology and Public Policy MPA brings together critical concepts to broaden your understanding of the impact of health technologies and health innovations. This programme is taught by established health, technology and policy experts and practitioners, and you'll graduate with the skills and knowledge needed to influence public policy to make healthcare better for all. Health technologies and public policy tools can protect, strengthen, and prepare countries to address emerging and persistent health challenges. However, successful implementation relies on understanding the ethical, scientific, policy, social, and economic implications of their development and use. This MPA programme focuses on the public policy and administration implications of health technologies, enabling you to navigate the dynamic interface between health technologies, health innovations, health systems, and public policy. You'll learn how to leverage science, technology, and engineering through policy, understand regulation options for rapidly evolving technologies, and explore technology's role in healthcare. You'll also develop the skills to address stakeholder concerns and engage with the health sector, as well as science, technology, engineering, and public audiences. This MPA stands out through its multidisciplinary, experiential learning approach and will enable you to shape health delivery systems in the current context of rapid technological and epidemiological change. This programme is for professionals at any stage of their career, who have an interest in working on issues that can impact health, health technologies and public policy. The MPA has relevance in the private sector, the public sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and development agencies.
