PUBH 6300 - DETERMINANTS OF GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH

[2 Credits]

Neither health nor disease nor their causes respect political borders. Given the global demographic transition and the trans-border movement of individuals, future public health professionals need to plan for the changing world pattern of disease, health care finance and delivery systems, environmental exposures, data systems, and behavioral and social conditions. This course will introduce students to global public health, in order to help them understand and how to make decisions about policies, research, and public health practice in and beyond Louisiana.
