Equal Health 2019 Summer Course: “Beyond the Biological Basis of Disease: The Social and Economic Causation of Illness” in Haiti.

This three-week course, which will be held from July 7-27, 2019 in Haiti’s Central Plateau, is designed for health professional students of all levels.

The course blends field visits, classroom-based presentations and discussions, group reflections, student presentations, films, and patient interaction.

Our goal is to advance understanding of the interactions between the biology of disease and the social, cultural, economic, political, and historical factors that influence illness presentation and social experience.
