This course is designed to provide an overview of public health in the United States and globally as well as engage students in dialogue about the discipline of public health, the profession, and the interdisciplinary approach to addressing population health issues. Students work together in small groups to analyze and evaluate health information, health care systems and the social determinants of health. The history of public health and its five core areas - epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, social behavioral health, and health policy - are explored.
