Do you aspire a career in Public Health, and need to establish or refresh your basic biology background? Would you like to learn about the consequences that anatomic and physiologic disorders mean to human health? Are you interested in the connections between human and public health?
Then this online course is for you!
We offer you ample opportunities to build a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology, explore public health-related aspects of human health, and interact with your peers across departments and disciplines.
Applies basic anatomy and physiology principles to current public health problems. Teaches through specific reading assignments, individual activities, whole class discussions, short objective tests as well as case studies. Includes brief, supplementary presentations on seminal discoveries and current research topics in the public health field.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Describe the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body,using the language of the biomedical sciences
- Explain how anatomical, physiological, and genetic dysfunctions affect individual human health.
- Discuss examples in which anatomical, physiological, and genetic health issues are extrapolated to public health problems of populations
- Recognize the importance of interdisciplinarity in Public Health
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
