Public Health 335 - CriticalThinking/Public Health

Most of us can think of something risky, but what is risk? How is risk defined and quantified? And what do we do when an action, product or intervention has both risks and benefits? This course will dive into several topics in public health that are considered to have both risks and benefits including GMOs, water fluoridation, chemicals in sunscreen, and medical imaging techniques. Students will also have the opportunity to dig deeper into a topic of their choosing to explore how risks and benefits are balanced for individuals and populations.

Open to sophomore, junior, and senior Public Health majors only. SPHHS 150 Students who cannot self-enroll and wish to be placed on a waiting list for this course, please submit a request on https://tinyurl.com/PHWaitlist-Electives
