New open slots in MC802, a great option for IH Concentrators!
Just want to alert you about another course with openings (5 spaces) that may make sense for you. You can add this course via Student Link if interested.
MC802 – Implementing Community Health Initiatives: A Practice based Course in Leadership and Consultation
This 4 credit course meets on Wednesdays, 2-4:45pm this Fall, and will be co-taught by MCH Dr. Lois McCloskey and Dr. Joan Bragar.
While the field connections of this course are in the Boston area, Drs. McCloskey & Bragar both have substantial international experience. Additionally, MC802 is an approved IH Concentrator course. Dr. Bragar taught in Spring 2012, IH733 Managing Teams and Groups for the New or Emerging Leader, with excellent reviews, which you can read for yourself here, (though the class was listed under her previous name, Dr. Joan Mansour):

MC802 – course description:
Students will work in theory and practice to address the question, How can we as emerging public health professionals with diverse backgrounds work together and with organizational partners to lead new initiatives and assure optimal health in our communities? This course is designed for upper level public health students who seek the leadership and consultation skills needed to assess problems, define challenges, analyze stakeholder interests, develop and implement strategies to achieve results. By the end of the course students will be able to work in teams to apply the Challenge Model to develop and implement a community-based health initiative in partnership with a community health center or organization, and effectively communicate findings and recommendations in real-world professional settings.
