1 unit

After interesting research studies are presented at meetings or published in journals, news media often disseminate results to a broader audience. As health care providers, we will be asked about these news stories by patients and other contacts. By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1) Facilitate discussions about the accuracy of scientific representation in news media. 2) Prepare future health care providers to review population health research and communicate findings accurately. Course note: This course is only required for MD/MPHS students.
