PH 243-244 Diversity Education and Learning in Public Health

During the summer of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery incited massive societal unrest across the United States. This unrest led to much needed questions: Who are we? What makes us different? What prevents us all from receiving equal treatment in the health care system? How can we learn to understand and respect each other’s differences while promoting equality in healthcare? This course guides future public health leaders on their journey to explore our differences and their effects on society, public health, and access to health care and health outcomes. Specifically, the course helps students 1) understand how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) relate to belonging;  2) understand barriers (i.e. Implicit Bias, Systemic Racism, and White Supremacy) that manifest in some of the most vexing health problems of our lifetime, (Food Insecurity, Maternal Mortality and Barriers to Access to Care) and prevent successful integration of DEI in health policies and interventions; and 3) practice skills that will allow them to anticipate, recognize and redress health system barriers that prevent fair distribution of resources and prevent all from receiving equitable care.   This course will complement student’s work in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Improvement Methods, Environmental Health, Health Policy and International Health. 

  • PH 243 contains modules on Implicit Bias, Food Insecurity & Systemic Racism

  • PH 244 contains modules on  Maternal Mortality, White Supremacy & Barriers to Access in Care

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.
