Population health is the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, public and private organizations, communities and individuals. In this course, students will examine the shifting of the health care system to new models of care; delivering health and not simply health care. Issues such as education, economics, transportation, exercise and nutrition are explored for their influence on the health of a population. Novel developments in technology and roles will also be discussed for both the potential they bring to improve health of populations and also for the challenges they introduce.
