School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Clayton

(previously Monash Institute of Health Services Research – MIHSR)

The School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Clayton is part of the School for Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) which also encompasses Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (DEPM), Department of Forensic Medicine (DFM), Department of Health Social Science (DHSS) and the Centre for Obesity Research and Education (CORE).

The School at Clayton (previously MIHSR) was established in 1999 as a conjoint entity of Southern Health and Monash University in response to the challenge of ensuring people have a safe and effective encounter with the healthcare system. We improve healthcare outcomes through applied research, education, advocacy and innovation in the areas of clinical management, service delivery and health policy.

We incorporate a multidisciplinary team with expertise in the synthesis of evidence, implementation of best practice and evaluation of change. We work together with clinicians, consumers, managers and policy makers to provide an independent perspective.

We are a School of academic knowledge, strength and eminence within Monash University consisting of participating centres. Our research and education programs draw upon staff from these centres creating a truly multidisciplinary environment. The Institute is proud to contribute to the growing Australian and global community of health researchers and educators.
