Overview

Duration: 10 weeks (excluding orientation)

Access is the greatest challenge to effectively managing and improving healthcare delivery, not availability. Join an online short course from Harvard's Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL) in collaboration with HarvardX and join a global health community as you explore the influence of power and social structures in shaping disease response. Through real-world case studies, you will investigate international approaches to combatting Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and MDR-TB and explore the burden of mental health. The course also examines how ideologies, problem framing, and the choice of metrics shape health policy.

With guidance from experienced faculty members, you will design your global health intervention to be implemented in public and private settings. This 10-week program will equip you with managerial and soft skills to complement your medical knowledge. Upon completion, you will receive a premium digital certificate from Harvard's VPAL, in association with HarvardX.
