Application of Implementation Science Frameworks to Address Diseases in Global Populations

Catalog description

In order to improve health outcomes for diverse populations, evidence-based interventions (EBI) or evidence based practices (EBP) must be sustainable and incorporated into routine care in global settings. Students will explore several implementation science frameworks using examples from low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Then, through a guided series of critical thinking interactive workshops/activities apply the framework (e.g. RE-AIM, CFIR, EPIS...etc.) to address distinct diseases in global population(s), by selecting an EBI/EBP and explore its application to a global health challenge. At the end of the course, students will be able to critically evaluate and assess the utilized framework and articulate the strengths and deficiencies inherent within that framework to address the stated problem.
