This course is to be a practical introduction to public health at the national, state, and local levels. This course is intended for students in the Master of Health Administration, PhD in Gerontology, and PhD in Epidemiology & Biostatistics.

This course is a survey of quantitative methods for healthcare managers. Specific content areas include problem selection, data collection, measurement, analytic techniques, and research design.

This course will examine concepts, methods, systems, and processes for planning and managing human resources in healthcare. It is designed for those aspiring to strategic leadership roles in complex healthcare organizations, rather than primarily for those seeking a specialized role in human resources.

This course introduces the disciplines of organization theory and organization behavior and their application in healthcare organization management. Special attention is given to understanding the practice of administration in healthcare organizations, the skills needed for effective management, and evolving management approaches (i.e. Lean).

This course will consist of an internship in a foreign country, preferably in a resource-limited setting. Students will have both a University of Kentucky and a local mentor, and will develop a plan for participating in some type of health-related project or activity during a four-week period. A paper or presentation summarizing the key components of the internship experience will be submitted upon returning to Lexington.

This course provides students with the understanding of advanced issues in the design, analysis, and interpretation of epidemiologic studies. The course text and associated readings will focus on study designs and the methodologic approaches to addressing bias, confounding, and error in the design of population-based health research. The development of a systematic approach for evaluating evidence from epidemiologic studies as it relates to demonstrating causality will be emphasized.

This course will provide students, in a seminar format for 6 sessions during the semester, presentations from occupational health and safety professionals from a variety of disciplines and experiences. The seminar is 2.5 hours long at each session. Knowledge regarding workplace exposures and related health outcomes will be provided. Students should acquire basic understanding of current topics in the fields of occupational medicine, nursing, safety, industrial hygiene, epidemiology, biostatistics, mining, and agriculture.
