O885: What is Public Health?: Minorities in Health in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 16 - Oct. 29, 2022)

Hello! Ever heard of Public Health? This is an entire field concentrated on the health of the societies, communities, and populations our world consists of. There are a vast number of medical and health subjects that fall under Public Health that we want to introduce at a high school level! A great goal of Public Health is to tackle the many health disparities found among different groups of people, especially those traditionally underserved by our existing health system. This class aims to introduce the concept of Public Health at an understandable and digestible level to high school students. We will provide case-by-case situations and studies that showcase this field's extreme relevance and importance. From exploring homelessness to mental health, join us in an exploration of social determinants that are applicable to your lives today and your studies for anyone interested in health fields or those that are adjunct :)
