HLT 101Introduction to Health Professions –1
This course is an exploratory , survey course for students interested in the health professions. The goal of this course is to help students expand their knowledge of the health professions while matching their interests so that they can make viable career decisions. Both in-class activities and speakers from various health professions are used to understand the academic and professional requirements to become a qualified health professional.
The goal of public health is to improve the health and lives of individuals, their families, and their communities at local, regional, national, and global levels. This course addresses topics such as: a population health approach to public health; evidence-based public health; health informatics and health communications; social and behavior sciences and public health; health law, policy, and ethics; non-communicable diseases; communicable diseases; environmental health and safety; health professionals and the health workforce; healthcare institutions; healthcare systems; public health institutions and systems; and the future of public health.
The health of those in other countries impacts the health of the global population; as diseases quickly spread, there are ethical aspects to allowing health issues elsewhere to continue without stepping in; global health impacts social and economic development, and global health impacts global stability. These concepts are key to the study of global health. This course addresses topics such as: principles and goals of global health; health determinants, measurements, and trends; health, education, poverty, and the economy; ethical and human rights concerns in global health; introduction to health systems; culture and health; the environment and health; nutrition and global health; women’s health; child health; communicable diseases; non
This course explores the relationship between lifestyle and food, cultural influences on food choices, the factors that determine a person’s healthy weight, and how social determinants impact nutrition. Students will develop an understanding of how nutrition can prevent and manage chronic disease and learn what it means to be food secure.
This course examines environmental health issues, scientific understanding of the causes, and possible future approaches to control major environmental health problems. Topics include how the body reacts to environmental pollutants; physical, chemical, and biological agents of environmental contamination; vectors for dissemination (air, water, soil); solid and hazardous waste; susceptible populations; the scientific basis for policy decisions; and emerging environmental health problems.
This course is the second in the Health Professions sequence. Building on HLT 101 (Introduction to Health Professions) as an exploratory survey course for students interested in the health professions, the goal of HLT 201 (Health Professions II) is to further the exploration of health fields and to assist students in credential evaluation activities. Both in-class exercises and health profession interviews are used to understand what qualifications are needed for various professional fields and to help students focus on careers that are in line with their interests and talents. Pre-requisite HLT 101
This course is the professional development course for students in the Health Sciences Department. In-class exercises and guest speakers are utilized to help students expand their knowledge of the health professions while matching their interests in order to make viable career decisions. Students are introduced to the tools needed to create and present their credentials in pursuit of their career plans, including resumes, interviews, and professionalism skills. Additionally, students engage in exploration and discussions relative to historical discoveries and classical writings, as well as current topics, challenges, and opportunities associated with each field within the Department of Health Sciences.
This course explores knowledge and skills essential to assessing the needs of a population, development of programs to meet those needs, and evaluation of the effectiveness of implemented public health interventions. The course integrates several knowledge and skills areas including program planning using evidence-based interventions, budget planning, projects management, data collection, developing program goals and objectives, and program evaluation.
This course helps students apply learned health behavior skills and health promotion within health settings. An emphasis is on the understanding of health behavior theories and applying theories to health promotion efforts in public health and health care.
In this course students will explore major health issues concerning women today, with an emphasis on social, cultural, and medical influences. The course is designed to empower women to make informed decisions about their health & health care. Additionally, the Women’s Health course will inform men with whom women may be associated (i.e. spouse, partner, friend, and other family members), to take an active role advocating for women’s health issues.
This course explores how socioeconomic, biologic, environmental, and institutional factors shape health inequities. Students will examine social determinants of health and learn multi-level strategies to reduce poor health outcomes within public health context found in social justice.
This course is the professional development course for students in the Health Sciences Department. Students are introduced to the tools needed to create and present their credentials in pursuit of their career plans, including resumes, interviews, and professionalism skills. Additionally, students engage in exploration and discussions relative to inter-professional collaboration, as well as current topics, challenges, and opportunities associated with each field within the Department of Health Sciences. Pre-requisite HLT 201
This course is the capstone course for students in the Health Sciences Department. Research experiences are employed to integrate the methods, tools, and approaches used in modern healthcare. Service learning projects and externships are also incorporated. Students will design their own projects appropriate for their individual areas of interest in the field of health sciences, culminating in both written and oral presentations, as well as dissemination beyond the classroom. This course is to be taken during the last semester of completing the degree requirements of one of the majors in the Department of Health Sciences. Pre-requisite HLT 201 or HLT 202
This course is designed for students who are interested in conducting independent research under the guidance of a Public health faculty member from the Health Sciences Department. The goal is for the students to present their research at a professional conference. This course may be repeated; 1-3 credits per semester is the standard load. Faculty approval is required before registration.
