Description

This introductory course explores the foundations and history of public health, as a discipline, a part of public policy, and the forefront of the effort to prevent future pandemics and epidemic disease. The course will focus on how global trends affect urban environments and how cities influence and sometimes drive the health outcomes of places far removed from the metropolis.

Guest registration opens Jan 4
