The issue of international health is one that does not fall under a specific category of Sciences or Arts, or even one that can be condensed into a few specific courses. Global health, and specifically global health inequalities require a multi-directional approach, and ultimately, interdisciplinary solutions.
Through this course we hope to specifically address the issue of international health aid. Although we cannot hope to exhaustively cover the different aspects of international health aid, we hope that course participants can learn to critically appraise both the problems and the solutions that currently exist, and set an example of the kind of interdisciplinary approach that is needed in studying global health. Ultimately, our course reaches out to a large population of students from all disciplines with a passion for global health, and an interest in gaining a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding international health aid.
