NUR 3220 - Worldviews and Global Health

3 cr

The just and equitable distribution of risk and the tools used to lessen or ameliorate such risk and its subsequent human suffering are too often unaddressed or inadequately addressed, particularly when viewed through a narrow disciplinary lens. Students will conduct a systematic and comparative analysis of health, health disparities and health systems across the globe and the human-social-ecological conditions that give rise to health and health disparities. As well, using a biosocial approach, a select number of historical and contemporary global health concerns and the information, tools, and methods used to address such concerns will be critically examined. This course will be offered in a 7.5 week intensive, on-line format.
This course fulfills a Humanistic Perspective general education requirement.
