BIOL 301 Healthcare in the Developing World

By living and studying in rural Zambia while observing the operation of an established mission hospital and the surrounding community, students develop an informed knowledge of healthcare available in other parts of the world. Students gain an understanding of disease patterns, the importance of community-based public health measures and political, cultural, and infrastructural factors that limit access to health care for people living in the developing world.
