PUHE-502 : Health Disparities, Inequities & Inequalities

During the course of the semester, students will examine health inequities; how race, ethnicity and health intersect; explore the nature of racial and ethnic categories; and learn about current US demographic trends. Students will also explore approaches for addressing health inequity, including health care inequities. Students are encouraged to pay critical attention to the multiple pathways by which race and ethnicity enter the body and how they lead to negative health consequences for people of color in the United States.
