Identify ethical, social, and cultural issues that impact policies, risks and interventions in community-based public health and preventive medicine. Develop culturally appropriate strategy for community health promotion, as identified within a community. Promote a learning exchange among community residents, students and faculty for improving health in the community. Support and improve the effective learning and service relationships among KUMC students and the local community. All course participants are expected to be knowledgeable of the course readings and active members on the team.
Participants complete reading assignments before each session on a featured discussion topic.
All readings are available in the class notebook or through the bookstore. Each session's entry is prepared before the next seminar class. A copy of each journal entry should be typed or emailed, and delivered to your faculty facilitator by the end of each seminar session. Each journal entry will be reviewed by the instructors and returned the following session. Participants are encouraged to use a loose-leaf binder to store journal entries for the semester.
