Description
This course uses the Culture of Health framework to examine the role of civic health in the health and well-being of
individuals and communities. Students will examine civic health indicators (for example, volunteering and giving, group
membership, trust in institutions, social interactions, neighbor connectedness, voting and registration and political
involvement) in relation to population-based care, health policy, ethics and finance. Examination of social change
leadership, analysis of civic-related research, and exploration of civic identity will further student civic and public
purpose as a healthcare professional and educated citizen.
