Why will I LOVE this Program?
This course will be extremely hands-on. We’ll explore issues from a patient-centered perspective and get our hands dirty with data. For an hour a week, we’ll get to interact with the experts — those with lived experiences and the health professionals who work with these issues day in and day out. You’ll grow as a person, you’ll grow as an aspiring health professional, and you’ll grow as an advocate for a fair and just distribution of healthcare in our society.
