  • Systems thinking - Understand how the systems in our society are intrinsically linked to the health of individual people.
  • Epidemiology and biostatistics - Learn how to gather and interpret health data, and improve health outcomes for your community.
  • Approaches to public health - Understand how theoretical principles can help you solve public health problems.
