Public health concepts are studied in light of the core functions of public health: access to care, policy development, and assurance of quality. The course addresses environmental and epidemiological issues that impact health of the population. Students will consider cultural diversity and vulnerability of populations in addressing needs for policy development and/or change, disaster planning, and community health education. Emergency preparation and the role of the team will also be explored.
