Question 1:

Discussion: Who’s Who in Global Health?

There are many ways to address global health challenges. Select an international organization and discuss its role in a recent global health outbreak and its future agenda based on your review of this organization’s priorities.

Your comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.”

Question 2:

Discussion: Reflections on Course Concepts

For this reflective discussion: Reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course.

• What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge?
• What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?
• Optional: Offer feedback on how the course and/or facilitation of the course can be improved.

Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. (Paul & Elder, 2008)

In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.
