Advanced Integrative Seminar in Public Health

Catalog description

In this six credit course, students synthesize and integrate knowledge and skills acquired in previous public health coursework. Students analyze a public health problem and design a health promotion intervention to address that problem. The analysis includes a description of the problem and perceived need from a population or public health perspective, identification of stakeholder groups involved in the problem, and review of peer reviewed current literature relevant to the identified problem. Students then design a population or public health based policy, program, or intervention that targets an identified public health need or problem. Students need to be enrolled in the MPH program or receive permission from the instructor.
