MPH-520 Global Health

This course examines major global health challenges, programs, and policies to improve health at the global level in resource-constrained and marginalized communities. The course begins with an introduction to the language of global health: the burden of disease, epidemiology, cost-effectiveness, and health systems. The students analyze current and emerging global health priorities and factors that result in health inequity around the world. The course incorporates knowledge and views from multiple academic disciplines (public health, economics, politics, management, sociology, etc.) and does not require background knowledge in global health.
