Información sobre Curso

The greatest challenge to effectively managing and improving healthcare delivery isn’t availability, but access. Join a global health community in this online short course from Harvard's Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL), in association with HarvardX, as you analyze the influence that power and social structures have in shaping disease response. Through real-world case studies, you’ll investigate international approaches to fighting Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and MDR-TB, and understand the burden of mental health. You’ll evaluate how ideologies, problem framing, and the choice of metrics shape health policy.

With guidance from expert university faculty, you’ll design your own global health intervention for actual implementation across public and private settings. Over the course of 10 weeks online, this program will also equip you with the managerial and soft skills to complement your medical knowledge, and you’ll ultimately leave with a premier certificate from Harvard’s VPAL, in association with HarvardX.

This online short course is for anyone with a passion for healthcare innovation who is looking for solutions to better serve their communities. This includes professional clinicians and public health practitioners as well as established global health leaders such as advisors, policymakers, and government officials. This program would also be relevant for investors and donors of global health initiatives, or those working in a multilateral organization, bilateral agency, NPO, or NGO.
