Module 7 Assignment  

Case Study #4

Global Burden and Epidemiology of Typhoid Fever

Purpose

In this class, you have several opportunities to explore the process of increasing cultural humility in global health. In our student-centered approach of actively engaging students, the use of case studies is one of the most straightforward applications of student-centered learning. The following case study will establish a real-life framework for analysis that will allow you to put in practice the main principles discussed and then to figure out possible solutions for each particular situation. The process of analyzing the parameters of a problem, recognizing and articulating positions, evaluating courses of action, participating in discussions with your classmates, and arguing different points of view—especially on how to apply those solutions in other similar situations—will significantly increase your skills in problem solving, analytical tools, (quantitative or qualitative, depending on the case), decision making in complex situations, and coping with ambiguities.

Course Outcomes

Through the case study activities, the student will meet the following course outcomes.

CO 1: Discuss cultural competence and evaluate the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, particularly in the context of health promotion and healthcare.

CO 2: Examine the development and major trends of global public health, including factors that impact health and disparities in health conditions across and within regions.

CO 3: Interpret research to measure health, wellness, and disease, with comprehensive engagement of communities and for their advancement.

CO 4: Evaluate the special health challenges, capacities, and requirements of communities impacted by armed conflict, mass violence, and socio-natural disasters.

CO 5: Assess the planning, organizing, and financing of global health interventions, with emphasis on the investigation of burden of disease, social justice, and equitable healthcare.

CO 6: Synthetize behavioral, social, and socio-economic factors of global health through analysis of worldwide migration, discrimination, and subsequent health disparities.

CO 7: Synthesize concepts of global health, through the analysis of U.S. immigration, mental health of migrants, and the role of traditional medicine and community health workers in providing cultural competent healthcare.

CO 8: Appraise the status of global health while integrating and synthesizing cultural understanding for self and others and the roles, processes, and agendas of global health in promoting health in peace, harmony, and compassion.
