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

We anticipate career outcomes that incorporate deep knowledge of dementia as an element of leadership, depending on the student's background, and drawing on the research literature to inform practice and design. These may include:

Senior manager roles, coordinator roles or operational management positions for residential care or community facilities
Government or private roles focusing on designing and implementing policy and governance
Roles that lead, inform and design practice around care, with a strong person-centred focus
Senior clinical roles and clinical leadership (for students with a health-professional background), driving evidence-based practice and clinical redesign
Articulation to research higher degrees or other research-focused pathways, drawing on research design and critical evaluation skills
