7% of the meals you ate in restaurants gave you food poisoning"

"Excellence in Health Series
Tomorrow’s Thinking ~ Today’s Care

In 2008 the School of Health Administration established a public-education program entitled, Excellence in Health Series. The Excellence in Health Series is designed to provide an open forum, equally accessible to the public and professional community. The lectures provide a ‘large-canvas’, upon which cutting-edge topics are discussed, from healthcare planning and management, healthcare funding and delivery, healthcare law and legislation, to healthcare policy. All members of the public are welcomed, as are healthcare professionals, from healthcare practitioner, policy analyst, lawyer, to healthcare administrator. To maximally engage the public, the series is held in the evenings, off campus, at a local Hotel, and no admission fee is charged.

The Excellence in Health Series will feature national and internationally lecturers, each respected for their leadership on the topic of discussion. To ensure maximum learning opportunity to the public and professional communities throughout the region, nationally and internationally, the Excellence in Health Series is digitally recorded and made available through the School of Health Administration website.
