PEDS 118: The Art of Creating Digital Health Education Content

Online educational content is becoming an increasingly important part of the way in which people learn. This course explores the process of making digital health education videos aimed at effectively supporting the learning of medical students, undergraduates, international community health workers and the general public. Knowing how to engage learners and effectively deliver important health education messages is a fundamental skill for future physicians, teachers and anyone who wishes to promote the health of those around them. Students work on creating their own digital content in pairs, outside of class meetings. Project-specific consultations with the instructor also take place outside of class time. Enrollment in PEDS 218 limited to MD students; undergraduates enroll in PEDS 118.

PEDS 124: Global Child Health (HUMBIO 124C, MED 124)

This course introduces students to key challenges to the health and well being of children worldwide. We explicitly focus on child and public health problems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to reflect the global burden of disease among children. We will review the scope and magnitude of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, as well as examine regional variations. We will then identify both medical and non-medical causes, effects of, as well as interventions to address, some of the biggest child health problems. The course will also prevent an overview of the role of culture, gender, and non-state actors (NGOs, foundations, etc.) on health and health policy. Upper division course with preference given to upperclassmen.

PEDS 128: Design for Pediatric Patients (DESINST 260A)

Feeding is a complex process involving coordinated interaction among several systems in the context of the parent-child dyad. A disruption in any of these systems places a child at risk for a feeding disorder. This two-quarter class will focus on the pediatric population who have feeding challenges in the neonatal ICU, the labor and delivery room, and at home. Students will use design thinking methodology as a pathway for medical device and/or systems innovation. Components of the course will involve Immersive simulation, aspects of the Stanford Biodesign method for needs prioritization, and storytelling techniques for compelling presentations.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

PEDS 128B: Designing for Pediatric Patients (DESINST 260B, PEDS 228B)

This two-quarter class will focus on the pediatric population who have feeding challenges in the neonatal ICU, the labor and delivery room, and at home once discharged. Students will practice design thinking methodology as a pathway for medical device and/or systems innovation. Limited enrollment via application. Must sign up for DESINST260A and DESINST260B.
