Maternal and Child Health in Developing Countries

    3 credits winter quater

    T, Th: 9-10:20

    Class size limit : 30

Through lectures and interactive small group work, in-class exercises and discussions we cover:“A great class for those who plan to work in or want to learn more about practical approaches to improve the health of women, adolescents and children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)”

• Critical health problems in social, economic, and cultural contexts
• Programmatic interventions and practical strategies responding to those problems
• MCH proposal development, community involvement, program implementation and management

The course is geared toward graduate students with some prior exposure to living and working conditions in LMICs; however, such experience is not required.

This course is required for the Global Women, Adolescents, and Children Health Certificate Program and is one of three courses that can serve as a requirement for the Global Health Certificate. It is an elective for the Global Health MPH and Certificate in HIV & STI’s.
