Health Promotion Across the Lifespan

Catalog description

This course provides students with the skills to promote healthy lifestyles across the lifespan to improve the health of individuals and families. Theoretical models are examined to understand health-promotion decision making. Guided by these theories, students design evidence-based health teaching plans and health maintenance schedules across the lifespan. Using a patient-centered approach, structural, cultural, and social determinants of health are explored, with an emphasis on cultural humility, social justice, and patient safety standards and goals.
