PBH 501 Achieving Health Equity: From Individuals to Systems

Survey of the dimensions of health and disease from three perspectives: The U.S. historical experience with health and disease; the social context of health and illness, including the healthcare system and policy issues; and choices in healing, integrating conventional and complementary therapies. The history, etiology, epidemiology, geographic mortality patterns of selected public health issues and disease entities are studied. The coursework and research project are designed to provide students with basic qualitative research skills, which are useful in clinical practice, applied research, program planning, development, and evaluation.
