PUBHLTH 408W/INTS 408W : Epidemiology and Global Health Policy

This course examines how epidemiology informs global health policy and governance. Students will develop the ability to design, critique, and interpret epidemiological studies, with direct application to human health, disease, and clinical medicine in global contexts. They will practice integrating scientific evidence into policy and governance decisions, producing professional work such as policy memos, consulting presentations, and grant proposals modeled on the application structure required by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The course emphasizes critical analysis, clear communication, and the integration of liberal arts perspectives to address complex challenges in global health.

This course satisfies the advanced writing skills course requirement.
