From the seven plagues of Egypt, to the emergence of diseases like HIV and Ebola, and superbugs like MRSA and tuberculosis, mankind has made war against the unseen. Exploring the history of diseases, students follow in the footsteps of public health providers as they hunt for the causes of epidemics and look for mechanisms to contain and cure infections. Students evaluate strategies to prevent and manage illness, identify the characteristics of susceptible populations, and explore emerging disease threats globally. Class activities like current event discussions and case study evaluations build foundational knowledge that students build upon as they complete individual and group research projects.
