Global Health in Action

Catalog description

This course is targeted towards students considering global health work. Using a "Best Practices" lens, students will explore how to have a meaningful, field-based global health experience, and how to incorporate their global health experience into a future career. Students will examine policy issues and other health determinants in order to understand effective strategies to respond to health challenges in a global setting. As an outcome, students will approach global health in its wider social, economic and political context. Lectures, readings from primary literature, and field-based case studies will provide the framework for discussion, analysis, and interpretation of global health in action.
