Session 7. Present Contributions by Discipline

2 hours

In this learner-led session, students present the contribution of their discipline to the understanding of a public health problem. They also share their insights into the epistemology of their discipline.

Outcomes

By the end of the session, students can:

  •  Discuss the role of the different disciplines in solving public health problems.
  • Discuss how the epistemology and methodologies of any discipline shape the types of contributions that that discipline can make
