Advancing Population Health

School of Medicine

This course is designed to promote increased awareness of ways in which social injustice imposed on subpopulations of individuals, families, and communities, as a consequence of “isms”, perpetuates disadvantage and disparities, with implications for mental, physical, and public health, through oppression and marginalization. Students are encouraged to apply course information in efforts to address issues of oppression, social injustices, and inequities in their professional and personal roles (whether teaching, research, practice, policy, and/or service).
