Patti Shih

I am Senior Lecturer at the Australian Centre for Health Engagement Evidence & Values (ACHEEV), and the Academic Program Director of the Bachelor with Honours Program at the School of Health & Society, University of Wollongong. I am a sociologist specialising in social and cultural aspects of healthcare and medicine. My current research focuses on public and consumer engagement in healthcare, and the implications of health technologies on medical overuse. I am currently developing new expertise and approaches in deliberative methods, co-design & co-research. I lecture in health policy, research methods, and justice and health.
