Overview

Graduates of the Dementia program from University of Tasmania will possess a range of knowledge and perspectives, and deep insights to the nature and quality of evidence which underpins them, to inform their professional and personal support for the needs of people with dementia. Experience in critical appraisal and design of research allows graduates to choose the best information and evidence, or to design research where the evidence is lacking. As expectations increase around person-centred care, and decision making informed by a deep knowledge of dementia, a variety of leadership and design opportunities may become available for those with postgraduate qualifications in dementia.

Career

Depending on your background and experience, career opportunities may include:
Leadership roles in the health, community or aged care sector.
Designing and implementing dementia-related policy in the public or private sector.
Senior clinical roles and clinical leadership (for students with a health-professional background), driving evidence-based practice and clinical redesign.
Advocacy or advisory roles in the health, community or aged care sector.
A pathway to research higher degrees or other research-focused roles, drawing on research design and critical evaluation skills.
