    The Master of Culture, Health and Medicine (MCHAM) is the only program of its kind in Australia. Combining anthropological, sociological, and other social science perspectives, as well as technical expertise in health-related research and practice, this program explores interconnections between sociocultural, politico-economic, historical, and environmental factors that shape health. Students emerge with core theoretical knowledge and skills in critical thinking and analysis, research and methodology, and interdisciplinary contributions to health and medicine. This combination prepares graduates to undertake impactful local and international work in many different health-related fields across development, policy, education, academia, clinical and social services, governmental and non-governmental organisations.
