Global Health and Implementation Science

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to implementation science with an emphasis on its application for global health. The course will highlight all aspects of implementation, including the factors affecting implementation in a global context, the processes of implementation, and the results of implementation, including how to introduce potential solutions into a health system or how to promote their large-scale use and sustainability. The intent is to understand what, why, and how interventions work in “real world” global settings and to test approaches to improve them. Students will have the opportunity to work in groups and independently. Offered in fall.
