About this course
Public health emergencies can happen all over the world, but long-term effects vary with the vulnerability of the affected communities. Through case studies and scenario-based classroom discussions, you become familiar with the disaster-development continuum of preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, and the core concepts of pandemics and epidemics. Furthermore, you investigate the global rise of non-communicable diseases growing to epidemic proportions and the future health impacts of our changing climate.
