CH 317 - Global Health

Credits: 3

Today’s world has shrunk due to the ability of individuals to travel rapidly from place to place. This has created a world where health issues are no longer confined to a limited region, but can potentially affect the entire planet. This course will examine global health issues, including historic impacts of advancing civilization on health, HIV/AIDS and the distribution of antiretrovirals (ARVs), Pandemic Flu and other infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, health care, chronic illness, and other issues. Students must have at least sophomore standing to register for this course.
