BIOL 4330 Global Health Ethics and Practice

This course serves to provide a diverse knowledge in the fields of public health and ethics as it contributes to its global application within the international realms of healthcare, health diplomacy, law and foreign policy. Students will gain competencies in critical evaluation of global health cases, policy briefs and peer reviewed publications addressing ethical issues as they pertain to the multidisciplinary interaction among the areas of public health, health-related research, human rights, social justice, international law, health diplomacy, and foreign policy. In the process, students will be taught to demonstrate moral character, as well as social, cultural, and political awareness through their ability to form public health recommendations that enable global health programs to become established in socioeconomically disadvantaged regions around the world.  Prerequisite: BIOL 3310/3110.
