Student Seminar # 4 – The Human and Economic Cost of Big Public Health – With Dr Joe Kosterich

Historically doctors treated their patients based on their individual needs. Worryingly, one size fits all approaches are increasingly used.

We are excited to also have Dr Joe Kosterich presenting on the ‘Human and Economic Cost of Big Public Health’. This session will explore how the growing influence of centralised public health policy has shifted the role of doctors from independent advocates for their patients to agents of government directives.

Dr Joe Kosterich M.B.B.S (WA) 1985 is a GP, speaker, author, and health industry consultant. Joe is a regular in the media and is often called to give opinions in medico legal cases. He is WA State Medical Director for IPN, Clinical editor of Medical Forum Magazine, Medical Advisor to Medicinal Cannabis company Little Green Pharma, and chairman of the Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association. He teaches students at both UWA and Curtin Medical schools.
Previously Joe held senior positions in the Australian Medical Association and sat on numerous industry and government boards and has extensive experience in the management of medical centres.

This seminar is free of charge, and is open to prospective Mannkal scholars and interested students.
