Confronting Global Health Challenges: What Would You Do?

1 credits · Undergraduate

Saving lives and improving health requires wise decision-making by local, national, and international health leaders and communities: policies, strategies, programs at the heart of success. This course will engage students in political, economic, cultural, psychosocial, human rights, equity considerations in five key areas of global health: universal healthcare, women's health, global pandemics, product-driven epidemics, and global warming health impacts. Students' critical analysis and decision-making skills will be developed though active learning teaching cases, role plays, debates, and simulations from actual situations faced by health leaders at all levels. Open only to students in the Focus Program.
