Module overview

The global health module is an exciting opportunity to examine the factors associated with emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases such as the recent outbreak of Ebola and Swine Flu that quickly spread around the world, and non-communicable diseases and their risk factors, such as smoking and sedentary lifestyles, that lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
