Global Health Pathway
|
Citizens of wealthy nations enjoy substantially better health, than citizens of the poorer nations of the world, which sadly encompasses most of the world’s population. This pathway explores human health and the biological, environmental, psychological, and social factors that impact it, with particular attention paid to global issues. Courses included in this pathway will deal with topics such as infectious diseases, chronic diseases, health care, mental health, pollution and environmental degradation, agriculture and nutrition, and poverty and social inequalities that affect human well-being. All courses included in this pathway will include discussion of the social context of health issues, and issues germane to resource-poor regions of the world.
