全球健康

什么是全球健康?

The study of global health provides an educated view of potential solutions for widespread health 问题. Students study the health of different cultures and countries, 以及它们之间的区别, by investigating what policies are helping health 问题. 全球健康 students also learn to identify health needs of different communities across the globe and consider how to positively impact the overall health of these communities.  

全球卫生对我来说是正确的道路吗? 

问自己几个问题:

  • Are you interested in how policy shapes the public’s health?
  • 你对做研究感兴趣吗?
  • Do you want to make health more accessible and equitable for all?  

Students who study global health are fascinated by health and well-being, 被驱使去帮助别人, 享受研究和教育. Research and education are the backbone of the profession, 但是把研究成果转化为可用的, understandable material to the average person is a key component to the career as well. If you are passionate about discovering how public health is shaped and are eager to help communities through education, 全球健康 may be the career path for you! 

我要上什么样的课啊

全球健康 students begin by taking more general health classes, 比如营养, 卫生保健经济学, 健康的通信, and Environmental Health and then progress to take more specific courses in the field, 如人口健康, 世界卫生系统, 全球卫生问题, 公共卫生流行病学, 和更多的. The courses create a deep foundation for understanding 全球健康 问题 as you further your education.
