Tentative Itinerary for Michele Issel 19 January 2016, Tuesday University of Hamburg Advanced Concepts in Community Health Sciences for Population Health Course Description. This one day course addresses achieving health efficiency and equity from the perspective of community health sciences. Key concepts are introduced, and woven together to provoke inquiry into developing approaches to population health that do not rely upon clinicians. Course Objectives. By the end of this one day doctoral seminar, students will be able to: 1. List and describe at least three concepts related to community health sciences 2. Explain the relevance of community health sciences to improving population health 3. Develop one hypothesis that links a community health sciences concept with another health care management or economics concept.

A passing grade will be given to students who demonstrate the following characteristics in their participation: Demonstrates an understanding of the assigned readings, Asks intellectually challenging questions of the class members and responds to questions posed during the class in manner that reflects critical thinking, Poses alternative views based on assigned readings, academic knowledge, and professional experience, and Demonstrates politeness and consideration with respect to the contributions of other students. Concept definitions (pass/fail) Attached is a list of terms and concepts presented and discussed in the readings and in the classroom. A passing grade will be given to students who come bring the list to class and have obtained definitions derived from the readings for at least 50% of the terms. Students are expected to bring their list to class as a tool to stimulate discussion. Students will keep their copy, but will be asked to show their list the instructor. Group Activity (pass/fail) This exercise, done in groups of 2-3 students, focuses on applying concepts introduced during the day. Groups ought to consist of students with as much academic and practice diversity as can be reasonably achieved. Each group will select ONE of the concepts introduce, and which is relatively new to the group members. The group will also select ONE concept from their doctoral coursework. Then, the group must generate ONE hypothesis which uses or connects those two concepts. At the end of the exercise, each group will state the hypothesis to the class with a very brief justification for the hypothesis.
