Global Health (5cr)

Teachin methods

Welcome to this collaborative online course!

In this course we will examine the ethical dilemmas in nursing and in healthcare professions. During the course students we will also analyze country specific ethical guidelines nationally and internationally. During this course, nursing students will be able to compare their experiences related to ethical dilemmas in nursing and discuss about them with colleagues from different countries.

Learning context can change very rapidly in education, this COIL project can help students to develop intercultural competences and learn with and from nursing students from other countries. This course will be organized together with UCLL Belgium and other international partners.

Accomplishment methods

Valid until spring term 2021: In this study module students will be able to gain expertise on major contemporary issues and challenges of global health with an interprofessional perspective and social approach. It is open to students from all disciplines. Students will examine global disease burden and distribution, health determinants and disparities, health policy, and the challenges and outcomes of global health interventions. Key global health themes to be explored would include: communicable and non-communicable diseases, environmental health, child health, reproductive health and rights, and health among refugees and displaced population. Topics will be examined in relation to global interdependency, highlighting how both global and disparities and global health policy responses are shaped through global ties and tensions.
