Population Health

This course builds upon prior learning experiences related to community and population health and provides the student with an understanding of current concepts of population health, with a specific focus on multiple determinants of health of populations as well as health inequities. The course also includes concepts of public health, health promotion, environmental/occupational health, and population health policy development and evaluation. Students will consider various methods, tools and models for applying population health improvement concepts into various advanced practice roles such as in clinical settings; in integrated delivery systems; in formal population health improvement roles; and in policy development. The goal of the course is to provide the student with a basis for incorporating population health principles into their advanced nursing practice roles.
