Goals of the Health & Society Pathway
- Participants will be familiar with the current state of inquiry in three substantive domains: Social & Behavioral Science, Population Health Disparities, and Health Systems and Policy.
- Participants will achieve a basic level of competency in three areas: Research and Evaluation, Leadership & Advocacy, and Community Engagement.
- Participants will complete a legacy product through which they will develop deeper substantive knowledge and an enhanced skill set in the project area. Learning will be both didactic and experiential. Learners may aim to achieve different levels of expertise and engagement regarding their project.
