Teaching methods

In this study module students will be able to gain expertise on major contemporary issues and challenges of global health with an interprofessional perspective and social approach. It is open to students from all disciplines. Students will examine global disease burden and distribution, health determinants and disparities, health policy, and the challenges and outcomes of global health interventions. Key global health themes to be explored would include: communicable and non-communicable diseases, environmental health, child health, reproductive health and rights, and health among refugees and displaced population. Topics will be examined in relation to global interdependency, highlighting how both global and disparities and global health policy responses are shaped through global ties and tensions.
