GPH-GU 5296 Public Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship:
This course helps current and future public health practitioners develop skills to create innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions that address public health challenges. Student teams explore gaps in the availability, accessibility, acceptability, adequacy, and appropriateness of health-related goods and services in target communities and propose innovations that would narrow those gaps and improve health outcomes. Then, using a stepwise, structured approach, the teams develop and refine a business model for the innovation through stakeholder interviews designed to maximize product-market fit and minimize failure risk.

GPH-GU 5342 Global Issues in Public Health Nutrition:
This course addresses major global nutrition issues that we face today. Food insecurity, and all forms of malnutrition, underweight, obesity and micronutrient deficiencies are leading risk factors of mortality and comorbidity worldwide. The course is developed in the context of the United Nations System, through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda. We will discuss climate change, conflict, and economic downturn as determinants of food insecurity that are worsening non-communicable disease prevalence. Next, we understand malnutrition, its major determinants and its interconnections with the food systems. Students will design a solution for these issues, using the systems approach and principles from social entrepreneurship in the global landscape.
