This seminar provides a foundation to public health – its interdisciplinary nature, key historical moments and developments, models and frameworks for understanding health in populations, primary concerns such as infectious and chronic disease, and disparities in health status by race, socioeconomic status and gender. Case studies of significant public health challenges and achievements will be analyzed to illustrate how public health works to transform the health of groups by working at multiple levels of the social ecologic model. Standards for ethical practice, including cultural competency will also be considered.
