Short Course - Genetics and Public Health

Overview

 

Nearly every week there is something in the media about genetics! Do you want to get a better understanding of the issues and how they relate to public health?

The course brings together nationally and internationally recognised speakers to cover topics such as genetic science, epidemiology, regulation, law, consumer issues, psychosocial aspects, ethical issues, the media, public health and population health policy.

The course is supported by a comprehensive website, jampacked with resources to assist participants in getting the most from the short course.
