课程简介

课程名称:公共卫生导论 课程概述:本课程旨在帮助您建立对公共卫生基本概念的理解,并将公共卫生应用于您的工作领域。公共卫生与所有临床学科密切相关,因为它关注疾病预防(在可能的情况下)以及改善需要医疗服务的人的健康系统和服务。公共卫生的核心内容包括:1)理解特定人群中健康状态的分布;2)理解影响健康状态的原因和暴露因素;3)采取行动改善健康,改善健康服务的可及性,并保护人们免受可能对健康产生负面影响的危害。 健康状态的分布可以在地理、社会和人口现象以及时间上进行思考。疾病的原因同样可以在这三个领域内进行分布。理解这些分布及其间的因果关系是流行病学家的职责。然而,公共卫生从业者则更进一步,提出如何改善人群健康的问题,并采取措施实施这些计划。公共卫生涉及多个学科,包括流行病学、健康经济学、健康政策、管理科学、社会学、人类学、行为经济学、数据科学和研究。 公共卫生从业者通常会关注其他学科,以更好地理解如何影响或改善人群健康。例如,理解气候变化为减轻与之相关的健康风险提供了机会;了解国际贸易和知识产权法则为改善基本药物的可及性提供了机会;理解人权为建立公平和伦理的卫生系统提供了机会。 希望您喜欢本课程,我很高兴能成为您学习旅程的一部分!

This course will provide you with a basic understanding of public health and the application of public health to your area of work. Public health overlaps with all clinical discipline because of its focus on disease prevention (where possible) and improved health systems and healthcare services for those who need them.Pubic health is about 1) understanding the distribution of various states of health in a given population; 2) understanding the causes and exposures that drive states of health at a population level; and 3) taking action to improve health, improve access to health services and protect people from hazards that might negatively impact on their health.States of health can be thought of as being distributed across physical geography, across social and demographic phenomena and distributed over time. The causes of disease can also be thought of as distributed over those same three domains. Understanding those distributions and understanding the links between exposure and outcome is the domain of epidemiologist. Public health practitioners however takes this one step further and asks the question: what can do to improve health at a population level and then take steps to implement those plans. There are a number of disciplines that contribute to Public Health, including: epidemiology, health economics, health policy, management science, the sociology, anthropology, behavioural economics, data science and research.Public health practitioner very often focus on other disciplines to better understand how population health might be affected or improved. Understanding climate change, for example, provides an opportunity to mitigate some of the health risk associated with it; understanding international trade and intellectual property law provides opportunities to improve access to essential medicines; understanding human rights provides an opportunity to ensure that fair and ethical health systems are put in place.I hope that you enjoy this course. I'm excited about the opportunity to be part of your learning experience!
