HPR 179Q: Special Topics: Public Heath: Community Response and Government Role
This course will examine the current trends in Public Health Emergencies. Several public health emergencies of the 21st century have demonstrated the need for enormous coordination among multiple entities for good outcomes. Historically, these preparedness and response activities have mostly been within the domain of local, state, and national government agencies. However, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are also playing larger roles in recent public health emergencies for multiple reasons. Often, the government may be limited in the immediate resources available to respond to an emergency or these agencies may not be able to help speedily, and the private sector and NGOs may be able to deliver aid quickly through well-established formal and informal networks. The course will look specifically at how local Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) works in conjunction with health care, community-based organizations and the private sector, to facilitate the sharing and exchange of information and resources in comprehensive, integrated and effective ways.
HPR 179Z: Special Topics: Medical Terminology
The medical terminology course is an introduction and exploration of medical terms related to the human body, health and disease, as well as diagnostic procedures and pharmacology. Words will be broken down according to root, prefix and suffix according to body system or health issue. This course will cover terms related to the following systems; skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous/sensory, integumentary, endocrine and reproductive. Selected terms related to diagnostic procedures and pharmacology will also be introduced.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: As individual subjects are selected, each is assigned a letter (A-Z) and added to the course number. Any course may be taken a number of times so long as there is a different letter designation each time it is taken. Specific titles and course descriptions for special topics courses are available in the online class schedule.
