All sessions are interactive with students encouraged to draw on their own experiences and exposure to public health and raise questions. Therefore the content of each session may vary according to the backgrounds, needs and interests of the students. Examples will also be chosen to suit the background and interests of the students and will draw on the tutors' field experience. Each session however, will be certain to cover the core knowledge deemed vital for a basic understanding of that subject area. Hand-outs are given out at the beginning of the session, so students can annotate as they wish.
Most sessions have their own recommended reading.
Essential Public Health Medicine. The Oxford Textbook of Public Health Medicine. An excellent reference for the enthusiast. Good chapters on all subjects covered on the course. Stewart S. Screening in health care.
