Descriptive Epidemiology Brief. Assesses Communicating audience-appropriate public health content, in writing and through oral presentations
Ans) The essence of the integrative Learning
Experience (ILE) is to demonstrate the
application of knowledge gained from the
PHI program in addressing a real-world
public or population health problem such as
health promotion, disease prevention
(communicable or non-communicable
disease), health literacy improvement,
injury prevention, etc.
- Suggested synthesis: Students are required
to conduct a detailed review of the
literature summarizing how public health
practitioners have addressed such problems
in the past, using traditional public health
methods with or without the integration of
informatics applications (web-based
systems, mHealth/eHealth applications,
network communication systems,
Geographic Information Systems, data
analytics or data mining, etc.). Since public
health problems are normally influenced by
internal and external factors students are
required to identify major internal and
external causal chain of events that could
influence the onset of the health problem.
Data requirements, public health guidelines,
and expected outcomes from addressing
the public health question must be
identified.
- Students will explain the use of systems
modeling in developing a high-level public
health information system and explain how
the various components of the system
contribute to an effective solution of the
selected health problem (health
promotion/disease prevention, etc.).
