Course Information
Students will learn to identify and assess communication landscapes to better understand how “health” is being constructed for diverse audiences. We will introduce the cognitive, theoretical, ethical, and cultural foundations that underlie public health communication and that will help us more effectively contribute to public debate and advance health equity and social justice. We will practice message development in consideration of the community-based and collaborative roles of public health, and the often-controversial issues we address. We also will identify and practice the key components of three major communication campaign frameworks, each serving differing goals, strategies, contexts, and audiences.
Interprofessional Education Course Schedule
Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enhance collaboration and improve health outcomes. At least 1 credit of Interprofessional Education is required by all MPH degree programs.
Most courses with OHSU subject code IPE (Inter-Professional Education) or UNI (University Curriculum) satisfy the Interprofessional Education requirement. Other courses may also serve; consult your advisor.
