Leadership in Health Equity

Catalog description

This is a course about moving from theory to practice with respect to advancing health equity. It will draw from the real-world public health experience of the course director as well as other leaders and practitioners. Course modules will span public health, healthcare, and social services; each will center on a specific health equity gap or problem, with a focus on implementation considerations. Case studies?particularly open-ended cases that lend themselves to problem-solving and contending with obstacles and failure?will be a principal didactic method. Topics include anti-racist practice in public health; addressing patients' health-related social needs; COVID-19 vaccine equity; and the intersection of health and economic equity.
