Global Case Studies in Primary Health Care

3 Credits.

Introduces students to the origins and recent advances in community-oriented primary health care through case studies from both developing and developed countries. Like hands-on clinical bedside teaching, the course uses real cases to help students develop problem-solving skills in practical situations. Program examples all use community participatory and community-based approaches to address priority health problems. There is a strong focus on equity and empowerment in all cases discussed.
