This course will introduce you to fundamental knowledge and concepts related to public health. Starting with the history and evolution of the discipline of public health, onto how the health of populations is protected and measured, you will gain a better appreciation of the importance of the social determinants of health and how health inequities, chronic and communicable diseases, injuries and the environment can impact health are explored. Additional topics include how promotion of healthy communities can be achieved through knowledge translation and advocacy. If you are interested in health then this course will serve as an excellent primer to your future studies in any health field. Topics are covered using a mix of lecture, discussion and interactive case study evaluation.

Epidemiologic principles are used to understand the determinants of health and disease in populations. Through this comprehensive course, you will learn how those principles are applied when investigating, analyzing, and understanding the complex factors that are responsible for disease outbreaks, epidemics/pandemics, promotion strategies, and Indigenous ways of knowing, which are important applications in public health and One Health.

This course presents concepts of public health in the context of an increasingly global world. Globalization can be defined as processes leading to the creation of a world as a single entity, relatively undivided by national borders or other types of boundaries. The linkage between globalization and health is complex and involves an intricate web of factors. Understanding the multifaceted nature of global health challenges that influence health, students will critically analyze the complexities of health disparities, the impact of globalization and gain an understanding of how to influence the health of the public both positively and negatively. Students will explore innovative solutions, interventions and sustainable practices aimed at mitigating the impact of globalization on human health. Prerequisite: SPH 200 or consent of instructor.

Health promotion employs a diverse range of targeted and population-level social and environmental actions to advance health, well-being, and equity. It involves multi-sectoral collaboration to help communities, individuals, and governments address public health issues. Health promotion action takes the form of healthy public policy, creating environments that are supportive of health, and strengthening community and individual capacity and skills to improve their control over their health. In this course, students will be exposed to the fundamental concepts, principles, theories, and contemporary practices within the field of health promotion, as a core function of public health. Additionally, the course introduces the students to health promotion using lenses of health equity and social determinants of health. The curriculum aims to impart both practical and theoretical knowledge encompassing the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion-focused public health interventions.

Climate change has already negatively affected the physical and mental health of millions of people around the world. How will these risks evolve as climate change intensifies? Who will bear the largest climate-health burdens and why? And, what can we do about it? This course answers these questions by examining the ways in which climate change is affecting human health and exploring strategies for reducing those impacts. Students will engage in a range of climate-health topics that emphasize the role of health equity, climate justice, and sustainable development in climate-health solutions. Through discussions with experts, engaging with diverse knowledge systems, and learning through real-world examples, students will gain an understanding of the inequitable health impacts of climate change, explore potential solutions, and discover new opportunities for meaningful climate action by viewing the crisis through a health lens. This course is open to students in all disciplines and sectors, underscoring the value of cross-sectoral collaboration and the importance of climate action both within and outside the health sector. Taken together, the course demonstrates that although climate change poses a critical threat to global health, addressing it also offers opportunities to strengthen public health by acting on the core determinants that shape human health and wellbeing.
