Why Population Health Leadership?
The field of population health research refers to the analysis of the multiple determinants of population health outcomes. These determinants include medical care, public health interventions, aspects of the social environment (income, education, employment, social support, culture) and of the physical environment (climate, clean air and water), genetics, and individual behaviour.
A key driver for population health in growing populations is resource allocation issues involved in linking determinants to outcomes. The improvement in population health therefore requires the actions of multiple actors (legislators, managers, providers, and individuals).
In a pioneering course, the MSc in Population Health Leadership at RCSI aims to equip leaders in this space with the broad knowledge to speak to the wide variety of components affecting the health of populations, whilst providing them with the leadership skills to implement change.
