| Description: | Course is by application only due to immersion trip to Peru (tentatively July 31 - Aug. 11, 2027). 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. After reviewing introductory concepts of its historical and international development, the unfinished and emerging agendas of global health will be examined. Particular attention will be given to the connection between parasitic/infectious disease and poverty, the social determinants of health, and the global burden of disease. Cultural, economic and ethical issues in global health will be discussed with an eye towards examining how inequities impact the health of populations. An immersion component following this class typically includes travel to Peru, S.A. with collaborative global health study and experience alongside Peruvian partners in urban, mountain, and rainforest areas.
