the world have promoted human rights-based approaches to guide health system
analysis and health policy. In this course students will learn components of
health and human rights programs and understand principles of and links between
health and human rights. Students will evaluate health policies and programs
from a human rights perspective. Examples of human rights approaches to health
will be given in both developed and developing countries. In addition, students
will examine the benefits of health and human rights programs as well as the
problems and conflicts associated with such programs. This hybrid course
requires both classroom and online time; reliable internet access and computer
literacy; and the ability to self-manage independent learning assignments
according to deadlines. In place of reduced classroom hours, required online
work is connected to classroom learning and may include independent mastery
assignments, discussion boards, videos with quizzes, writing assignments, and
other active learning experiences. Students are responsible for both classroom
attendance and completing these out-of-classroom learning experiences by the
specified deadlines and in accordance with instructor requirements.
