We are seeking Adjunct Lecturers with a distinguished track record of effective teaching and rich experience in the field of Health Economics, Management and Policy.
Duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to teaching and tutoring one or more of the following courses:
- Health Economics and Finance (Part-time Program)
Health economics is the application of economic principles to health and healthcare. Students apply core concepts of supply and demand theories to health and healthcare examples and learn about the importance of information (and information asymmetry) in health care markets; the critical role of insurance; hospital financing and delivery; and private/public mix in finance and provision of healthcare. In this course students are introduced to key conceptual frameworks of healthcare economics and decision making and examine how Australian and international healthcare systems are designed and organised, including the critical components of long-term care and pharmaceutical markets.
- Health Systems, Policy and Governance (Part-time Program)
Health Systems, Policy and Governance examines national and international health systems and policies from a governance perspective. Conceptual frameworks in governance rely on multidisciplinary (e.g. political sciences, public policy, management, industrial relations and economics) approaches to understand the complexities of dynamic industries such as the health and social care sector. Students will be exposed to healthcare governance frameworks and to applications in the Australian and health countries' systems and policy. Students will examine the principles of healthcare organisations, institutions, and policy design and development in a comparative perspective, and will discuss recent healthcare reform efforts in developed and developing countries. Historical, political, economic and stakeholders' influence on current and emerging health reforms and policy will be analysed to enable students to recognise and design best practices.
