Students cannot take both GH744 and GH887. Developing a structured approach to program design is an important skill for public health professionals. GH744 is a practice-based course that provides an opportunity to learn and apply the key steps of program design. The course invites students to work with an international or national non-governmental organization to design a public health program. The non-governmental organization will orient student consultant teams with a scope of work that will contain guidelines for developing a program for the organization and identifying prospective donors for funding. To complete the scope of work, each team will identify and describe a relevant public health problem and apply evidenced based solutions to address the problem(s). Course work will also sharpen the knowledge and the skills required for working effectively in a team and students will learn to reflect on individual and team performance. Students will also document their knowledge and skills in program design. Strongly recommend students take GH745: Monitoring and Evaluation of Global Health Programs to obtain critical monitoring and evaluation skills that will be used in this course. Class Notes: Can't also take GH887 ; GH744 requires a significant out of class commitment. Students should not register for other courses that meet in the same weeks.
