Fall Institute Curriculum The Johns Hopkins Fall Institute in Health Policy and Management provides the same academically rigorous courses offered during the traditional academic year at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, but compressed into a shorter period of time. The flexibility of the Institute’s curriculum allows participants to choose courses across a broad array of offerings. Students should select courses that best meet their educational and professional goals. To aid in the selection of offerings, several course concentrations have been identified. The concentrations included in this year’s institute are: Public Health Practice; Health Inequalities and Social Determinants of Health; Public Health Policy and Management; Mental Health; and Environmental Policy and Management. Participants who concentrate on the Health Inequalities and Social Determinants of Health cocentration will be able to understand the current thinking about the social, political, economic and cultural determinants of health and social well-being, as well as to comprehend the social and health policy interventions aimed at improving the health and quality of life of whole populations. Analyses of case studies and of specific situations and interventions will be integrated into these courses. The faculty will present reviews of their research findings and practical experiences and will pay special attention to strategies for reducing class, gender, and race inequalities. Participants who focus on the Mental Health concentration will be provided with the tools and skills necessary to undertake mental health research to better understand the impact on populations. Participants giving their attention to the Environmental Policy and Management concentration will be able to identify the critical environmental issues facing public health leaders and policy makers. |
