Catalog description

This seminar offers an exploration of how epidemiology shapes community-based health interventions, particularly within the context of India. Students will analyze the disease burden and associated risk factors while evaluating public health strategies that address these challenges at the community level. Partnering with Child Family Health International (CFHI), participants will collaborate with healthcare providers in Northern India, gaining firsthand insights into significant health issues, including infectious and non-communicable diseases. Through a combination of interactive lectures, field visits, and case studies, students will learn how effective community health programs play a crucial role in disease prevention.
