Information for
Health Management Coursework and Research Students
SHAPE has embarked on a program to seek
greater Health Administration student involvement within
the Society.
SHAPE is an excellent avenue to network and discuss
research and education issues with fellow students and
academics that are committed to improving health service
management.
SHAPE holds an annual Symposium -
http://www.shape.org.au/Symposium%202007/symposium2007.htm
- where academics and students share information on the
latest developments and trends in managing health
services.
Each year, SHAPE provides student scholarships to attend
the annual Symposium.
SHAPE is now calling for papers from
interested students
