Monash-Cabrini Department of Clinical Epidemiology
Head: Professor Rachelle Buchbinder AO We conduct high-quality clinical research and drive translation of research knowledge into practice and policy change for improved healthcare. Our work strives to optimise the value of healthcare, reduce low-value care arising from over-diagnosis and over-treatment, and identify ways to create a more sustainable healthcare system able to support future generations. We engage consumers as advisors, partners and participants in our research.
