Module overview

While the health of humanity continues to improve as life expectancy from birth has increased globally from 46 years in 1950 to 71.5 years in 2015. While we are living healthier lives than ever before, there are new challenges with global health that we need to address.

Children are receiving the highest level of routine immunization coverage in history, yet, cases for antimicrobial resistance, malnutrition, and obesity numbers are increasing. WHO warns that the world is not prepared for a major epidemic, so how can we prevent one from happening?

This module will teach learners how to develop strategies to counter drug resistance, deal with possible epidemics and manage national security risks on a biomedical level.
