Course Description

In a globalizing world, contemporary debates around health, illness, and well-being are not only concerned with the individual, but include a consideration of the ways that social and political contexts shape health. This course gives an outline of the global context of health and disease and then addresses a selection of health challenges by focusing on a different contemporary topic each week. These topics change in order to keep up-to-date with changing patterns of disease and global health concerns but example topics for the course include subject areas as diverse as long term conditions in a global world, communicable and non-communicable diseases, organ transplantation, telemedicine, and people trafficking. The complexities and contradictions of contemporary issues of health in a globalized world are explored, and students are encouraged to develop a critical and self-directed approach to each topic.

Course Description

The course provides an overview of modern health challenges in Europe and how they are shaped by a variety of themes within stakeholders in policy, research, and practice. Such themes include developing a unified system of population health monitoring across sovereign countries; coping with population aging and rising healthcare expenditures; managing commercial and social determinants of health; supporting cross-border collaboration between national health systems; fostering learning and the exchange of expertise in social and health policy; and identifying a global role for European Public Health. The current course combines theory with practice through lectures, tutorials, and a masterclass. Lectures introduce the content and initiate discussions on topics covered by the course. In addition, the course makes use of problem-based learning (PBL), a prominent learning method widely used at Maastricht University, in which students actively engage in their own learning. Finally, the course includes an exchange of views in the form of a masterclass with a senior expert in European health policy. To facilitate a fruitful learning environment a moderate level of health-related knowledge is required. Hence, the course is directed toward students attending bachelor or master's courses in medicine, public health science, sociology, anthropology, political science, or economics.
