PH 477 - Diseases of Poverty & Wealth


This seminar will provide students with opportunities to understand and apply the concept of public health as social justice and explore how politics, economics, ideology, and inequity contribute to the unequal distribution of disease in the U.S. With the implementation of national health care reform, provider payments and resource distribution will increasingly be based on improvements in health outcomes for individual patients. This seminar examines classic and current studies on poverty and public health from historical and interdisciplinary perspectives.
