3 cr · Graduate

Public Health is a multi-disciplinary field of inquiry and practice that addresses the social and biological dimensions of population health. This course represents part two (with CHSC 7500 ) of the breadth of exposure to core competencies and content areas important to public health practice. Combined with CHSC 7500 , this course adds to relevant debates relating to the science and art of protecting, promoting and restoring the health of the population through organized societal activity, public health law and ethics. Students will also gain relevant introductions to health policy, health promotion, prevention and health, and so forth. Specific content for each part of the two courses will be structured in such a way to complement more advanced program offerings in these topic areas.
