MPH 654 - Global Health Policy: Intersec

Unit(s): 2

This course introduces students to global health policy and focuses particularly on issues at the intersection of policy, international law, and epidemiology, exploring pressing issues in governance, trade, human rights, and social determinants of health. Students examine the distinct conceptual frameworks that can be employed to critically examine a global health problem; and apply those frameworks to identify multiple points of intervention across the lifespan to reduce morbidity and mortality among affected populations. Students learn skills to conduct research in global health policy, and develop skills in presenting their research. This course is geared towards graduate students in public health and nursing who ideally have some prior training in international health affairs, law, or public policy.
