In recent decades, infectious diseases such as West Nile virus, Ebola, Zika, MERS, HIV, H5N1 and H1N1 influenza virus have jumped geographical boundaries and even species boundaries to emerge in new populations. This class offers an introduction to emerging and reemerging infectious disease and focuses on the underlying mechanisms of microbial emergence, epidemiology, and the strategies available to contain them. In this age of antibiotics and vaccines, why do millions die each year from infectious diseases worldwide? With new pathogens continuing to emerge, can we ever hope to win the battle? The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases involves many interrelated factors. Global interconnectedness continues to increase with international travel and trade; economic, political, and cultural interactions; and human-to-human and animal-to-human interactions. This course will address the biological mechanism of infectious disease and the socioeconomic and ecological factors that influence the outbreak of infectious diseases.

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the biology of human/animal/environmental interactions that impact health. Students will practice evidence-based approaches to these public health issues including identifying problems and risk factors, considering evidence-based recommendations for interventionism developing strategies for putting interventions in place, and evaluating outcomes. The University of St. Thomas challenges students "... to be morally responsible leaders, who think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully towards the common good." Students completing this course will build critical thinking skills while learning fundamental concepts and practices that benefit the health of global and local communities.

Public health impacts each of us on a daily basis, yet too few of us can explain exactly what it is ordescribe the numerous ways in which it “touches” our daily lives. For students interested in the healthsciences it is critical that you understand how public health has and continues to influence our collectivehealth. In this course you will acquire an understanding of the academic discipline of public health, majorpublic health problems, and public health systems intended to protect andmaintain the health of the public.The course will orient you to core principles of public health, including social justice, and provideopportunities for you to apply your knowledge of public health to address complex population healthproblems that affect the population. Course activities will challenge you to think critically about variouscomplex health problems while you compare, contrast and devise “solutions” or interventions to addressthem. This class will equip you with tools to begin to address the critical public health issues that face you,your community, and your world.

Course description: Some of the major global health challenges we will discuss include communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as environmental, women’s, and refugee health issues. We will pay particular attention to health systems and the role these systems play in promoting health and development around the globe. The course is global in its scope, but the focus of many of our discussions will be on low- and middle-income countries, the health of the poor, and health inequity. The relationship between health and socio-economic development will be examined throughout the course. The course will expose students to concepts from social epidemiology, such as social determinants of health and the impact of various social, economic, political, and historical contexts on health.

This course will provide an introduction into the legal, ethical, social, economic, and regulatory dimensions of U.S. health care, through a public health and social justice lens. Students will analyze the U.S. health care system structure and functions. Systems of care (government, private, and non-profit) as well as types of care (medical care, behavioral health care, public health, etc.) will be explored. Coursework will require students to conduct a comparative analysis of health care delivery system in the U.S. and another country. The course will explore challenges within the U.S. health care delivery system and engage students to investigate proposed solutions to reduce health care costs, improve health care quality, and reduce health disparities. A culminating class project will provide opportunities for students to share what they have learned in the course with a larger audience.

Course description: Epidemiology (“epi”) is the study of the distribution and determinants of health and disease patterns in human populations. As a scientific method, epidemiology can be used to investigate, analyze, and ultimately prevent or control health problems on the population level. In this course you will develop your understanding of the epidemiologic approach for addressing important population health problems. You will have the opportunity to examine various population health issues from an epidemiologic perspective. Initially, you will learn to speak the “epi” language such that you can describe data in epidemiologic terms and examine associations between exposures and health/disease outcomes. You will also develop skills to conduct basic data analysis, critically analyze epidemiologic study methods, and assess the validity of “epi” study results. You will leave this course with a better understanding of both the significant impact of epidemiology on human health as well as some of the limitations of the science. Prerequisites: PUBH 220 and DASC 120, or Junior Standing and DASC 120, or Permission of the instructor.

Public Health policies are inescapable, critical, but often invisible components of our everyday lives. The accessibility, cost and quality of health care; our preparedness for disasters; the safety of our food, water, environment and medications; the right to make individual decisions about our personal health and well-being; and many other issues are vitally tied to health policies and laws. Health policies and laws may have a lasting effect on our quality of life as individuals and on our welfare as a nation. This course examines the relationship between public health research and policymaking. Complex health policy problems facing policymakers today will be discussed. Specifically, this course examines healthcare policy from a public health perspective. Over the course of the semester, we will discuss federal, state, and local health policies in order to improve our understanding of how and why policies were and are developed and how research, politics, and other social factors inform the health policymaking process. Many of the contemporary health policy problems facing federal, state, and local policymakers today will be explored. Prerequisites: PUBH 220 or approval of the instructor

Welcome to PUBH 350: Environment, Health and Justice. In this course we will examine public health structures, principles, tools, and programs used to address current and historical environmental health issues. Throughout the course we will consider how the world we live in impacts our health, how we negatively impact the environment and our own health, and what can be done to improve population health. We will consider these topics from an environmental justice perspective because around the world environmental hazards and diseases are not equally distributed across all populations. Environmental health issues are complex and in order to more fully understand them we will draw on ideas and concepts from sociology, economics and environmental epidemiology, toxicology, and regulation. This course will encourage you to understand and think critically about ways public health systems measure, control, and remove exposures to environmental hazards to protect population health.
