Program Description

The Aging and Population Health curriculum is designed to prepare students to tackle the complex health challenges presented by an aging population. They will learn about programs and strategies that can be deployed to improve health for older adults from a population health perspective, and by using a collaborative approach. A multi-disciplinary approach is central to this curriculum because of the many factors (health, social, economic, etc.) that contribute to health and well-being in later life.
