Today our world is constantly becoming more interconnected and globalized. Public health issues, such as infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, accidents, are therefore no longer be purely national or regional problems; instead, they have been dealt with under a more global, integrated, multidisciplinary approach. This course is designed to empower students, the future policy-makers and practitioners, how to analyze and deal with issues of global health. Each week, a topic related to global health governance, such as medicine access and patent protection, health data and privacy, health system and primary care, international health law, and health organization, are been introduced by the instructor(s) or guest speaker(s). By the end of this course, in the last two weeks, the course will execute a simulated public health emergency under the World Health Organization framework (WHO Simulation). The simulation will include students from this class and invite outside experts, civil society, and journalists to participate in. Students will be divided into four to five countries and assigned roles as key legal, policy, and public health decision-makers to respond to each scenario of the simulation. This simulation will help students to organize what they learn from each class and topic, and to learn cooperating with people with different backgrounds and positions. It shall help students to prepare the knowledge and skills in the globalization era.
1. Knowing the current global health issues and risks, such as emerging infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and accidents. 2. Understanding how global health organizations, research institutes, advocate groups, transnational corporations and state governments to tackle a variety of global health issues. 3. Developing student’s ability for participating in international conferences, oral presentations, and group collaboration. 4. Building students’ capabilities in conducting research via specific media, literature, and databases, having frontline experience of health policy-makers through WHO simulation. 5. Broadening the horizons beyond students’ current disciplines and professions, increasing the understanding of public health, biomedicine, and international relationship.
