Objective
The primary goal of the curriculum is to develop a
shared language and to critically examine some of the most important
population health concepts and methodologies and health and society
problems. This curriculum includes:
Population Health
Work in Progress Seminar
This seminar is aimed at a wide university audience of
doctoral and post-doctoral students and faculty interested
in the social determinants of health.
It features work that is in development or in progress--work
that could benefit from the advice of a diverse audience
of colleagues. Our hope is that presenters will gain advice
and insight, the audience will learn more about what activities
are taking place, and everyone will gain some knowledge
and methodological expertise.
Scholar Seminar in Health and Society
The weekly Scholar seminar
uses directed readings and discussions focused in the
following general areas:
- History, culture,
and causality
- Population
health problems
- Conceptual
frameworks for population health
- Biological
determinants of population health
- Intervention
sciences
- Population
health methodologies
Scholars will
themselves organize and lead some sessions.
