GMED G825 - Health Policy and Advocacy (longitudinal)
Credits: 4
The purpose of this course is to provide learners with an exposure to the macro level health policy framework, tensions, and influences and to provide students with opportunities to work in the community and to develop and implement advocacy skills. Learners will engage in observational experiences in community health advocacy settings. Based on interests, students can be tracked into pediatric, adult, or combined focus community settings. Students are introduced to the principles of health policy and community advocacy through a series of readings, reflections, selected required conferences and web-based learning. In addition, students participate in service-based learning opportunities with community partners in the Greenville area. Each student must complete a community mapping or other approved advocacy project. Additionally, as part of the elective requirement, students will meet with individual physicians in selected GHS clinical departments to ascertain prevailing policy questions and advocacy interests. Findings from physician feedback will be incorporated into a final project and will inform relevant health policy and advocacy topics for future learners. The goal of this elective is to equip students with the skills to be effective and engaged leaders in community advocacy and influencers in health policy. The majority of the coursework should be done during the assigned block.
