Interprofessional Approaches to Regional and Global Population Health (B)

Catalog description

This course explores concepts relevant to population health practice. These include the importance of reflective practice and a focus on prevention and upstream interventions, with particular attention to social determinants of health and mitigation of adverse childhood events. Using an interprofessional/cross disciplinary approach, students examine how economics, social factors, cultural safety/competency, health literacy, policy, urbanization, globalization, the environment, and other factors influence health and disease. Students consider how research in prevention, health determinants, cultural ecology, and global health applies to population and community health efforts.
