PAS 536 (Public Health and Preventative Medicine) discusses the core concepts of public health and the US healthcare delivery system. Students will learn how to use population health knowledge to play a leading and collaborative role in the maintenance and improvement of the health and well-being of the community. Discussions will focus on the health needs of specific populations and how, through health promotion, disease prevention, and health protection, the PA can measure those needs and aid in the development of strategies designed to improve the community's health and wellbeing. Students will also complete the Smiles for Life curriculum designed to ensure the integration of oral health and primary care.
