History and Foundations of Public Health

Course #: PUBHTH 101

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.

Notes:
Each week’s readings and lectures will lead students to learn about past public health systems and crises that shaped the evolution of the discipline (history), and how those developments continue to influence how public health decisions are made today (case studies).
