This course will help build a student’s professional toolkit such that they have the tools to enter the public health workforce and excel in leadership and management roles, including evaluating and informing policy, engaging stakeholders, navigating ethical situations and challenges, and leading change. The course will introduce students to the key elements of leadership and will characterize the elements within the public health practice context via case studies, guest speakers, and a policy analysis paper.
