Overview
In this Impacts of the Environment on Global Public Health course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Michigan, you will explore how many public health outcomes are directly influenced by human contact with the environment. The four courses in this series will introduce you to the environmental health sciences (EHS) discipline; you'll examine the hazards of air pollution, water pollution, solid and hazardous waste, radon, and noise; identify the major challenges posed by climate change and unsustainable practices; and use risk assessment to evaluate the health of population, advocate for environmental justice, and improve global health. Based on global and diverse cases, open-access readings, and engaging video lectures, you will learn how we can assess the effectiveness of policies designed to address and reduce the environmental threats to our health.
Applied Learning Project
Each course features a peer-review assignment that will utilize the knowledge gained from learning about foundational concepts, authentic global and U.S. examples, and methods of application. Giving feedback through a peer-review process is important; learners and current and future public health professionals will have to give critical feedback.
What You Will Learn
