Cr Hrs: 3 (48-0-0)
GR

This course involves an introduction to the emerging field of population health. Although the concept has received widespread recognition, there is little consensus with regard to the definition of population health and even less agreement with regard to the implementation of this methodology. This course offers an overview of the field of population health, defines it parameters and describes its attributes. Given the applied nature of population health, this course emphasizes critical analysis for student assignments. These assignments may include hands-on exercises. Other non-graded hands-on exercises that illustrate the use of the population health model in supporting community health improvement may be included in the class sessions.
