HSI 200 - Foundations of Health Science (3)

This course addresses health sciences as a coherent group of disciplines concerned with the health of individuals and populations.  It introduces students to the fields in health science in both preventive and therapeutic health practices and develops a better understanding of both current and emerging health issues.  Upon completion of the course, students will understand the concepts of health, illness, and disease from a range of perspectives and will be able to explain the variety of factors that may act as potential determinants of health for both individuals and populations.  Students will demonstrate their ability to critically examine strategies and solutions to problems involving health, illness and disease in the context of socio-cultural influences.
