Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to an overview of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with a focus on upstream intervention by applying the Public Health problem solving paradigm. To simulate the real world, students will be divided into small groups to tackle a sexually transmitted infection of their choice. This course will teach students problem solving techniques, provide them the opportunity to work in a team and demonstrate the mastery of the concepts by successfully collaborating on a final paper with a descriptive analysis of an STI, its magnitude and description of the determinants, exploration of the different intervention strategies and a defense of the students’ intervention of choice.
