  • COMMFAM 263C: Community Health

    4.00 Credits
    Duke University

    This elective introduces students to the concepts and practice of community and population-based health care. Population-based care is becoming increasingly important in addressing the health needs of this nation. This elective helps students understand how Duke serves communities through collaborative, innovative, interdisciplinary clinical services, educational programs, and applied research. By allowing students to participate in actual programs, role modeling and experiential learning are used to supplement and apply what is learned in the required text-based materials of the course. Because the specific course activities depend upon the student's particular interests and the community health activities ongoing at the time of the elective, each student's experience will be individually designed. To participate in this course, students must contact Dr, Tran prior to the start of the course via email at Anh.Tran@duke.edu. At that time, Dr. Tran and the student, along with appropriate community programming faculty and staff, will plan the specific activities that will be undertaken by that student, and the requirements for the student's successful completion of the course. Students may contact the Coordinator of Medical Student programs at 681-3066 for more information. Details on initial class meeting location and time will be sent prior to first day.
