NURS 403 - Health Care Systems in a Global Society
3 Credits
This course offers the student a survey of complex health care systems in the United States and compares them to other systems across the world. Course includes a historical analysis of issues and trends from the turn of the century to the present. Focus on how social, cultural and political structures and practices relate to health disparities internationally. Students will develop an understanding of the historical and contemporary implications of public policies and discrimination affecting health and health care systems globally. They will also study the use of health care services by racial and ethnic minorities and other vulnerable populations including refugees, women and children, and natural disaster victims. We will discuss the World Health Organization, the U.S. Office of Global Affairs, the United Nations and private agencies like the Red Crescent, Medecins sans Frontieres and the Red Cross. This course also helps the student develop an understanding of how to evaluate formal and informal health care delivery systems for their interconnectedness in a global society. (GI) (CORE:global)
