PO 103 - Introduction to Public Health

(3)

This course will introduce undergraduate health sciences students to the broad and exciting field of public health. The intellectual challenges of discussing the processes and practices of public health as a social and global institution require an early initiation to enhance the population health perspective of future health and healthcare professionals. It will provide students with unique access to and understanding of the current global traditional and emerging population health issues-from child immunizations to risk communication to avian influenza to management of information in the 21st century.
