PHS 304 Public Health Education
In this course, students will explore health education as a tool for promoting health with individuals and within communities and schools. The course will provide an overview of the different settings for health education to occur (school, community, medical appointment, communications) and types of intervention. Concepts in public health theories, teaching, lesson plan development, educational mapping, and evaluating will serve as the foundation for public health education. Techniques of adapting content for diverse learners, managing sensitive topics, addressing questions, and managing class dynamics will also be introduced. While learning how to teach health content, students will also enhance their knowledge of this content and strengthen their comfort with presenting health concepts.
