Description: | This study group is for students in the Center for Allied Health Diagnostic and Medical Sonography (CAHE) program.
This is an introductory-level course taught from the public health perspective. This course provides a population perspective on the determinants of health and disease and the tools available to protect and promote the health of the community. Options for intervention are explored including use of the public health system, the health care system, and society-wide systems such as laws and taxation. Through case studies, vignettes, and problem solving exercises, students learn to apply frameworks for thinking about the issues of population health and gain an understanding about public health practice. |
