Modality: Asynchronous, Synchronous at CSU Long Beach

Date: M/W 5:30pm - 6:45pm

Instructor: Dr. Brian Kwan

In this course, students will learn Public Health Informatics & Standards, which is a multidisciplinary field that combines public health, computer science, information technology, and digital health interoperability standards to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of public health efforts. It involves the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to collect, manage, analyze and disseminate health-related data to support public health research, policymaking, planning, and surveillance. Students will leverage and harness technology for better and more equitable public health outcomes. This entails learning and understanding the busines and policy models that can put technology into practice, overcome community-specific barrieres to technology uptake, and create outcomes. The course has a case study format with each case covering an important technology which plays a part in advancing public health. The applications are standards and informatics; mental health apps in the community; application of AI/ML/NLP in public health; bio-surveillance, and devices and lifestyle. Students will become capable of improving the health of the public by innovating with technology. 

Course: CIVENG 190

Modality: Synchronous at UC Berkeley

Date: F 10:00 AM-12:45 PM (Lab Asynchronous)

Instructor: Dr. Raja Sengupta and Gora Datta

Students will acquire geospatial skills and apply them in the context of structural inequity, health disparities, and racial justice. Geospatial skills will be applied to public health problems that continue to demonstrate differences in health exposures, risks, and adverse outcomes for BIPOC living in the US, as well as to contribute to much poorer outcomes in the US than in other high-income countries. The main learning objective in the course is to understand the importance of place in the display, analysis, and reporting of health data at local, national, and global scales. Each week, case studies will provide context for the specific ways in which place matters when thinking about public health and health services delivery.
