PH 110 Public Health Foundations

Public health is what we do as a society collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. This course introduces students to the broad landscape of public health and goes a step further to population health in discussing partnerships between health care systems, government agencies and other organizations to improve the health of the public.  Modules in this asynchronous course introduce students to the profession and science of public health, communication with diverse audiences, factors related to human health, and the structure of public health and health care systems.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
