The overarching framework of this module is Population Health, with Inclusion Health concepts and research quality concepts integrated within the framework. Population-Inclusion Health focuses on the interrelated conditions and factors that influence health and wellbeing patterns and outcomes for populations. They incorporates services, policies and interventions that impact on achieving equitable health and wellbeing for diverse populations groups. Diversity explores the existence of variations in people and groups and incorporates cultural competence and characteristics such as cultural and social background, ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality, values and religion. Speakers from exemplar population groups provide guest lectures and 'insider' perspectives. Exemplar organisations that provide guidance, support and services to diverse populations provide exemplars of services available. The module is assessed by a team presentation of a plan for an initiative to address an identified population's health and wellbeing need. It requires synthesising principles of population-Inclusion health and quality research. The research content is assessed through an online quiz. Students also self-reflect and critique personal biases, prejudices and team work skills that impact on providing professional compassionate care and services to diverse population groups.

Students get an opportunity to meet people from diverse population groups to get insider views and ask people about their experiences and perspectives. They also get an opportunity to meet people who provide services to diverse population groups.
The assessment requires students to work in small teams of 4-5 to construct a plan for an initiative for a specified population group. It will required the application of the concepts taught in the module. During the process of constructing the plan for the initiative Lecturers provide small group work facilitation where they are available to the student teams to support them in their application of theory to their assessment task.
