This DeCal is an interactive, interdisciplinary class focusing broadly on problems challenging local and global healthcare. Course topics will include an overview of healthcare in America and internationally, how is care administered in conflict/war zones, climate change’s connection to public health, etc. In addition to introducing students to a wide array of public health issues, the class will include guest lecturers coming in as well.

This class is a great opportunity to learn about a new public health issue every week and no prior background is necessary! In addition to our class meeting for 1 hour a week, weekly homework will include a brief response to the articles that we have chosen for that week.

In terms of attendance, we plan to be having most of our classes in person, however some will be over zoom. It is expected that you do attend the classes, however if you cannot make it you will be expected to notify us beforehand unless an emergency arises.

We will meet Tuesday 7-8 PM mainly in Dwinelle but some classes will be online. First day of class is 02/07 and the course enrollment code is 28087!

This class takes enrollment on a first come first serve basis and there is no official application that needs to be filled out.
