This course provides an introduction to global health, including an analysis of key health concerns and global priorities, the comparison of health status between nations, and an emphasis on issues of equity and social justice.

The colonization of global health will provide context for our studies. You will analyze and identify key health issues, their primary causes and consequences, and examine strategies for promoting improved health and wellness within nations, regions and globally.

This course is fully online. If you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it to avoid getting no refund, a W symbol, or a grade. I am happy to add students into this course up to two weeks into the semester and I use the waitlist to do so if the class is full.

I may drop a student if that student does not submit the first two assignments by August 24th. or if a student does not submit assignments for a week after the first week of class.
