This course provides an overview of international health and social development, including the impact of globalization. Frameworks are provided for the comparative analysis of health and social development, and the economic, political, policy, and cultural aspects, which influence them. Approaches to interdisciplinary project planning, community building, program implementation, program evaluation, and research in international contexts will be explored. Sustainability of international initiatives and ethics are threads throughout the course. Students are provided the opportunity to examine relevant health and social issues and unique needs of population subgroups during the course, and relate these to their own disciplines and career goals.
