Course overview
When healthcare employees work in a healthcare setting, they get used to the everyday norm of seeing people when they’re sick. It can feel like everything they do is reactive: people come to them when they’re sick, and they help to make them better.
But in addition to being reactive, it’s vital that they take a proactive approach to health, too. Public health does this—it’s the science and art of helping people stay healthy, preventing disease and health threats, and prolonging life. To promote public health effectively, healthcare employees must follow ethical practices and inclusivity principles.
