Health Equity and Social Justice - SC Core Skills Course

Offered in the Summer of 2023 and each Spring/Summer quarter thereafter. This course focuses on building core skills necessary to effectively engage in social justice & health equity change work. During this 10-week course, students will acquire tools & strategies for creating change toward health justice while applying frameworks learned in Med269A. Students will work individually and in groups to understand real-world problems and begin to cultivate their own change agent identity. A practicum project will be introduced early in this course as an instrument to help students bring into focus a specific area of interest.
