| Department: | Biology |
| Description: | Enrollment through Registrar's Office with Permission from Instructor. The multidisciplinary issues of global health confront everyone on the planet. This course will introduce critical issues and key themes in global health from basic principles to disease burden to collaborative efforts to improve global health. Particular attention will be given to the connection between parasitic-infectious disease and poverty, social determinants of health, and the global burden of disease. Cultural, economic and ethical issues in global health will be discussed. An immersion component following this class is planned for travel to Peru, July 31 -- August 13, 2020 (dates subject to change), and will likely involve travel to urban, mountain, and rainforest areas. Students should expect to make a financial contribution toward the trip. Grades for this course will be recorded as "incompletes" until after the summer immersion trip. Enrollment in the course is limited, competitive, and by application through the instructor; contact Prof. Eric Wetzel (wetzele@wabash.edu) if interested. This course counts toward the Global Health minor; however, it does NOT count toward the major in Biology. Prerequisites: BIO 101 or 111, or the consent of the instructor. Preference may be given to students who have some background in either Spanish, economics, political science, or global health. |
