Guatemala Public Health

Catalog description

Guatemala Public Health will introduce students to the concepts and practice of public health in a low and middle income country. Students will expand their understanding of health issues that exist in Guatemala and they will deliver a health education lesson to "Las Amigas", Guatemalans who are being trained to be community health care workers. The group will also work on a construction project during the work week. Students and faculty will fly to Guatemala City and travel to Chichicastenango and Antigua and several surrounding towns. This is a hybrid course that involves asynchronous on-line work. Permission of the instructor is required to take this course.
