The Public Health and Development Focus allows students to center their EPD coursework on public health issues in developing countries such as infectious diseases, family planning and health policy. Coursework may be specific to HIV/AIDS, malaria and other community health issues. Students interested in public health and development may want to view resources and other courses offered through the Mailman School of Public Health.
