These topics will be studied by combining classroom lectures, discussion and experiential learning. Students will participate in the ongoing implementation of a community health assessment of residents living in the Hollywood-Springdale area northeast of campus. The health study is part of the Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC) grant project and is designed to identify barriers that limit access to health care among areas residents. This course is recommended for pre-med and health science majors, and social science majors. Prerequisite: Anthropology/Sociology 105, or permission of instructor.
