HRPR 1001Public Health: The Way We Live, Work and Play3
Public Health: The Way We Live, Work and Play is designed to help students think about contemporary health issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. The course includes an introduction to the five core areas of public health - biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health services administration, and social and behavioral sciences - and how these areas relate to various health, health care, and human service professions. Public health helps inform decisions that shape the behavior of individuals and communities. Students will analyze health issues such as health promotion, disease prevention, and health care policy from a variety of perspectives. As part of the course, students will work in small interdisciplinary teams to access and evaluate information about a particular individual or population-level health issue, and learn to argue persuasively, both orally and in writing, for interdisciplinary approaches to that health issue. The focus of the course is to engage students' curiosity about how the discipline of public health and interdisciplinary approaches apply to issues students may confront in their future professional work.
This 3-credit course is designed for undergraduate students in the College of Public Health. The course will review the history of mindfulness and then move to modern approaches and applications of mindfulness. A personalized mindfulness practice will be explored for relevance to a student's life. The course will focus on the neuro-biological influence of stress, the gut-brain axis, and the epigenetic nature of the human experience. It will explore issues such as conflict, approach versus withdrawing behaviors, and resilience. Students will deepen their understanding of concepts such as compassion fatigue, burnout, cognitive empathy, and vulnerability. The course serves as a springboard for future learning and deeper exploration into specific areas of mindfulness application, at a personal or population level.

HRPR 3096Cultural Competency in Health and Healthcare3
Cultural competence goes beyond language, ethnicity, race and sex. This course will examine those components in the context of cultural traditions, gender issues, aging, and (dis)ability. There is a need for such background knowledge to develop the skills to effectively interact with diverse groups of people to improve the patient experience in healthcare, eliminate cultural and linguistic barriers during clinical encounters, develop sensitivity to gender/age/ability bias, ensure compliance with all care requirements and protocols, and improve the overall quality of care. This interaction includes (but is not limited to) patients, patients' families, and the health care team. This course is reflective of the needs expressed by the National Institutes of Health to best prepare the future public health and healthcare workforce.
HRPR 3197Understanding and Applying Research in Health Professions3

Students will engage in multiple opportunities to draft and re-write.
HRPR 3201Society and Self: Storytelling and Narrative in the Provider-Patient Relationship3
This is a multidisciplinary course that centers the human experience in the context of health and illness and explores the links between the story and the body. In order to develop their narrative competence, students will learn how a narrative approach to health and disease is different from the conventional biomedical approach. The focus of narrative medicine is on the individual: self and patient, people with a past, pain, experiences, and agency. Students will learn how a patient's story and physiology are related, how eliciting and valuing that story can be used in a clinical setting, and how to interpret and reflect on both patient and provider narratives. This course will provide students with the skills of recognizing and respecting multiple perspectives. It will help them hear and mediate competing voices (e.g. self, those of authority, the patient, the patient's family), and it will help them engage in the dynamics of movement between empathy and emotional detachment. The goals for this course are interprofessional, patient-centered, and humanistic; and it is intended to promote compassionate clinical care through valuing the patient's - and the practitioner's - unique experiences.

Students will be expected to think critically about issues such as disease prevention, health promotion, the determinants of health, health information privacy, access to health services, and environmental issues, and to consider how those issues drive human behavior and community (local, national, and international) development. Successful graduation from the College of Public Health is contingent upon completion of 12 web-based modules from the approved compendium for this course. There are six core modules that all students must complete: Advancing Health People 2020, Social Determinants of Health, Access to Health Services, Health Information Technology, Public Health Infrastructure in the United States, and Environmental Health. The remaining six modules may be either embedded by program faculty or self-selected and self-paced by the individual student. Faculty can mandate certain modules within course content.

The purpose of the Teaching in Higher Education Practicum is to provide a mentored teaching experience for students who are currently teaching as the instructor (not just a grader). Building on the content discussed in the prerequisite course, the focus of this course is to apply the skills and reflect on teaching practices in real time. Through paired critiques and group discussions, students will work together to share teaching experiences and problem solve. Students are encouraged to develop strategies and approaches to teaching that can be tailored to their circumstances.
