Full list of 2024 Fall 2 courses, highlights include:
PHW226A: Health Economics [Enrollment Class #: 30608] (3-Units)
- Provides an overview of the United States healthcare system using a microeconomics lens. Students will first learn microeconomics fundamentals and incentives, enabling them to answer several questions, such as why the United States spends so much on healthcare, yet has poor health outcomes. The course will illustrate contexts in which the free market works well in healthcare, along with the many contexts in which it does not. Students will learn about the government's roles in healthcare, including government successes and government failures. The course will examine tradeoffs among healthcare affordability, quality, access, choice, and innovation--can we have it all? Lastly, it will answer why vast health inequities exist among the US population, including answering how health equity can be improved.
PHW213: Global Health Ethics [Enrollment Class #:30652] (3-Units)
- Provides an overview to ethical issues within a global health context. The course starts with an introduction to ethical frameworks, theories, and historical references that elevate the ethics conversation to the global stage. The course will then link theory to practice as we delve deeper into ethical issues in research, experiential learning, and delivery. We will consider ethical questions about the discipline of global public health and the roles of governments, academic institutions, organizations, health professions, and members of the public as stewards of health. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the diverse international perspectives on the concepts of ethics and health.
PHW253: Outbreak Investigations [Enrollment Class #: 30639] (3-Units)
- The purpose of this course is to provide students with an overview of outbreak investigations in public health. This course will teach students why and how clusters of illnesses/epidemics are investigated. Methods and approaches required for such investigations will be discussed in detail, using published and unpublished material from the scientific literature.
