Public Health Policy and Advocacy

Public Health Policy and Advocacy prepares learners to approach public health in the political landscape. Policy can affect the health of groups ranging in size from individual organizations to entire nations and even the globe, making this an especially powerful and complex tool for the public health specialist. Learners in this course compare international healthcare systems, describe the policy- making process, evaluate a policy for its impact, and advocate in favor of a public health policy. There are no prerequisites for this course.
