IDSM 351 - Interdisciplinary Global Health Seminar

This seminar course integrates aspects of global health through an exploration of biomedical and sociohistorical perspectives that influence health disparities; specific themes will vary with each iteration. Emphasis will be placed on reviewing and integrating information from current scholarly, peer-reviewed literature sources into students’ semester-long service-learning projects. Each directed project will take action in resolving a global health issue that incorporates ideas presented in the course. The course may be repeated, as long as there is minimal or no duplication of topics covered by any previously attended iteration, as judged by the instructor(s) of record. An interest or background in global health issues is desirable.
