Primary, community and rural postgraduate study pathway

The University of Waikato is offering a specialised primary, community and rural pathway as part of their postgraduate programme in Health Science, commencing in Trimester B, 2025 with HLTSC561 - Primary Healthcare Practice.

This pathway is designed to equip health professionals working in primary, community and rural settings with the skills and knowledge necessary for advanced clinical practice to support people to manage their health and wellbeing, within these contexts in Aotearoa.

It also provides opportunities for health professionals to initiate innovative approaches that are responsive to community, individual and whānau need.

This is an opportunity for those looking to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma or Master of Health Science. The course is a blended approach with six in-person workshop days (30 & 31 July, 3 & 4 September and 22 & 23 October).
