PUBH 51100 - Foundations Of Global Health
Credit Hours: 3.00. Global disparities in the health and well-being of diverse populations, across and within borders, has never been greater. Profound and rapid changes in demographics, from population growth to urbanization, along with unprecedented shifts in patterns of disease and risks, are coupled with game-changing advances in knowledge, technology, and innovation. This course will introduce students to current challenges and efforts at solutions in global health, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. It will provide an interdisciplinary overview of topics that include measures of health and disease, communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, women’s health, maternal and child health, food systems and nutrition, health systems, and health care delivery. In addition to lectures, the course will include interactive discussions of case studies and specific country examples, aimed at immersing students in the debates and challenges facing global health leaders and decision makers.Credits: 3.00
