Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Despite world-wide advances in technology and development, providing basic health care to people in resource-poor settings continues to pose enormous challenges. Now more than ever, the global community is focused on overcoming inequities in access to health care and poverty alleviation as a means of curbing the spread of disease and improving people’s livelihoods. Building on this momentum, this course will focus on the important role that young people can play as leaders and innovators in the global health arena. Students interested in basic science research, medicine, economics, engineering, health policy and education, human rights law, business and management, or environmental science and sustainable development will be challenged by this course. Throughout, students will investigate the roles that historical, social, political, and economic factors play in the health of communities both in the United States and internationally.
