This course is a global health primer for people who seek the knowledge and skills needed to effectively participate in global health ventures. It is designed for all-comers: aspiring engineers, NGO workers, agricultural scientists, university students & faculty, government officials, as well as those providing direct patient care.
Because global health workers and volunteers are often exposed to unfamiliar situations for which they are unprepared, this course aims to provide foundational knowledge on global health to better contextualize experiences, optimize self-reliance and situational awareness, and to allow learners to be more effective in their work in low- to middle-income countries. It also will provide basic competencies for organization or university members traveling outside of their native countries with a goal toward mitigating institutional risk.
We have harnessed world-class experts to breakdown and clarify the complex interactions in the world of global health, and they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from the Harvard School of Public Health, Weill Cornell Medical College, the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, the US Agency for International Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the University of Colorado.
Additional certification: This course is meant to be a stand-alone introduction to global health, but also serves as the first step toward a more advanced certification. For those wishing to obtain additional hands-on skill sets, we invite you to participate in an in-person three day course-- offered throughout the world in 2015-- to be certified as a Global Health Responder(TM) through the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Because advanced first aid skills will be the core of this additional certification, this course will require in-person attendance and will be taught by CU medical school faculty-- leaders in austere care medical education. Details including dates and locations can be found at http://coloradowm.org/MOOCnation.html
Week One: an introduction to global health concepts with an look at changing trends in the 21st century; urbanization, environmental stress and resource scarcity

Week Four: stakeholders in global health- NGOs, governments, non-state actors; understanding where the money comes from, how it is allocated and the challenges of measuring results; human rights-- what are they and how are they protected?
Week Five: complex humanitarian emergencies; forced migrations, wars, response standards, and the legal basis for interventions
Week Six: being an effective participant: caring for yourself; pre-travel preparation, understanding risks when traveling outside your home country; physiologic vulnerability
Interested in global health but not sure where to start? Our diverse team of experts have designed an introductory course to give you a primer on the field and a dazzling view of one of the emerging disciplines of the 21st century. This course also serves as a prerequisite to our hands-on 'Global Health Responder' certification from the CU School of Medicine.
