The Life Course Perspective (LCP) offers a new way of looking at health, not as disconnected stages unrelated to each other, but as an integrated continuum.  LCP views health as a complex interplay of biological, behavioral, psychological, social and environmental factors that contribute to health outcomes across the course of a person’s life. 

The course meets from 12:30 to 1:50 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Find it listed in The UW School of Public Health Department of Health Services.  For details, contact instructor Rosa Solorio, MD, MPH at Solorio@uw.edu.
