Public health is concerned with the health of groups of people and society as a whole. This course examines the state, discipline and profession of public health, also called population health, primarily in the US and to some extent globally. It covers the history and political context of public health; principles and goals of public health practice; the role of biostatistics and epidemiology in public health; the biomedical sources of disease; the importance of the environment for public health; issues in the US healthcare system; and future issues in public health around the world. As a survey of the entire field, the course provides a foundational background for further studies in public health and related disciplines.
