PUHE-506 : Principles of Public Health Practice (Required)

This graduate-level course designed to introduce students to a broad view of public health and the basic concepts underlying public health practiced at the local, state, national, and global level. Students learn about the integration of the core elements of public health, determinants of health, and public health services, to address these determinants. The course will take a "hands-on approach" using problem based and student-directed learning through a series of lectures, group discussions, and various writeups. This course will be offered in a hybrid format (live lectures, video lectures, and working sessions). This course is restricted to public health students.
