MDHM 622 - Health and Social Equity

3 credits
Social determinants of health significantly impact the well being of individuals, communities, and entire populations in some areas. Examines the interaction of social factors on health outcomes including issues of discrimination, environmental degradation, economic access, and food security, to name a few. Using transdisciplinary approaches to identifying disparities in health, students will explore structural responses related to health care delivery, policy change, education, and community engagement. Students can focus on particular communities, health issues, or social systems to propose concrete conditions and processes a society is able to put into place to increase health equity.
