School of Pub Hlth & Hlth Sci 605 - HealthEquity&Foundation/Pubhl

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to graduate level public health practice through a health equity lens. Together with SPHHS 615, this course will allow you to grapple with important questions of racism, justice and health to understand the many complex factors that contribute to the health of our nation and its peoples. You will be encouraged to think about the ways in which you will accomplish the mission of public health (i.e., assuring the conditions in which everyone can be healthy) through critical self-reflection of your own perspectives on the health of the population.
