Undergraduate Certificate in Allied Health

You will study a core unit that prepares you for your future career by exploring:

• the foundations of health professional practice,
• conceptions of illness, disability, health and wellbeing with a focus on contemporary models of care,
• how healthcare practice is evolving, and the healthcare system is undergoing significant reform to improve public health
• the structure and function of the Australian healthcare system, with a practical focus on Tasmanian health strategies, policy, key health indicators, demographics, resources, and outcomes,
• the roles of different health professionals, with first-hand insight from practicing professionals, course coordinators, and discipline leaders to help you form a future career plan.

You will have opportunities to apply your knowledge and skills by engaging with real-world cases, strategies, and outcomes. In doing so, you will be able to identify, examine and challenge your own beliefs, and develop skills for life-long learning, both of which are essential capabilities for all health professionals.

In addition to this core learning, you will choose three units that help you meet the pre-requisite requirements for your allied health pathway of choice.

This course is designed to help you identify and pursue your desired career path in the healthcare sector, and provide the pre-requisites you need to undertake the study required to get there.
