IHP health and community: globalization, culture, & care
IHP Health and Community is a semester-long, global comparative study abroad program for undergraduate students. The program is founded on a concept of health as a product of myriad interrelated determinants from the molecular to the global levels. Health, disease, illness, and wellbeing are seen not only as the outcomes of specific pathogens, toxins, or behavioral factors, but influenced by and acted upon through social relationships, cultural practices and attitudes, political institutions, ecological and economic forces. Thus, we also focus on the role of community in achieving health. Only when considered within this complex web of interrelated factors can we understand the ways health is distributed and experienced within local communities and across regions of the world. The Health and Community curriculum pays special attention to health disparities across the Global South and Global North, as well as a focus on community-driven health initiatives and the role of community in wellbeing.
