Community Health

This course is designed to expose students to a wide range of community/public population health issues. The course intrudes students to public health theory and evidence and their application to improve the health of communities and populations. There is a focus on how social determinants, including social, cultural, and populations. As a field, community/public health has emerged from social movements that view health as a human right and an issue of social justice. As such, throughout the course, we will examine health disparities and inequities, and strive to understand and create solutions for their elimination.
