INTH 301/INTH401, Fundamental Concepts in Global Health
All participants in the Global Health Certificate Program are required to successfully complete INTH 301/INTH401, Fundamental Concepts in Global Health taught each spring Semester. The course seeks to integrate the multiple perspectives and objectives in global health by investigating how the disciplines of biology, medicine, bioethics, epidemiology, anthropology, nursing, mathematics, and engineering analyze and approach the same set of international health problems. Students will develop a shared vocabulary with which to understand these various other perspectives from within their own discipline. Real life examples will be used to emphasize issues related to the health consequences of development projects, emergency response to a health care crisis and diseases of development in the presence of underdevelopment. The course is open to all upper class students and graduate students. More information is available from the registrar's web site or by clicking here to access the course flyer.
INTH 301/401 is also the core requirement for all individuals to receive a Certificate in Global Health. Students interested in receiving a certificate will also be required to complete a set number of global health classes (and/or receive international field experience), according to individual departmental requirements.
