Critical Perspectives on Medicine and Public Health Praxis

2 credits · Graduate

This interdisciplinary course critically examines the structural, historical, and systemic forces shaping public health and clinical medicine. Students will engage with frameworks such as critical race theory, fat studies, disability justice, and anti-racism praxis to assess healthcare institutions, research methodologies, and policy structures. Through case studies, policy analyses, and interactive discussions, students will develop critical perspectives on contemporary health issues, including AI in medicine, climate change, misinformation, and systemic racism in healthcare.
