A Public Health Perspective on Community, Culture, and Advocacy

Catalog description

Part of being an effective public health professional is being able to define the community and specific population(s) you are working with and understanding how to best serve and advocate for those individuals. This course will focus on cultural humility, cultural competence, and related concepts (e.g., social and political determinants of health). The goal is to prepare students to be able to work with a wide variety of communities, even if they are not part of that community themselves.
