Evolutionary Medicine Capstone

Provides a culminating experience in which students bring together the knowledge learned in prior courses in the program in a way that is meaningful and relevant to their professional goals. Focuses on projects that students carry out to demonstrate their ability to integrate the core concepts of evolutionary thinking and analysis; and places disease in the context of changing environments, exposures and the encompassing ecology of life in which an individual is embedded. Demonstrations weave perspectives from biology, anthropology, public health and medicine.
