MED 103: Human and Planetary Health (PUBLPOL 183, SOC 103, SUSTAIN 103)

For too long, societies have treated nature as an inexhaustible resource. As a result, humanity faces a health crisis of planetary dimensions. Unsustainable food systems, global warming, biodiversity loss, pollution, and changing disease ecology are impacting both human lives and the natural systems that support them. Those least responsible for these crises are hit worst and first. The field of human and planetary health seeks solutions that sustain nature while supporting human health. This course highlights the complex interconnections between environment and health and demonstrates how an interdisciplinary, multisectoral approach and systems thinking can help us to find a path forward. Through lectures, discussions, and interactive exercises, students will learn and write about large-scale problems, priority areas of action, and levers for impact. All students will join a weekly section and work through a multi-part assignment to produce a policy brief addressing a human and planetary health challenge. The course is appropriate for students at all levels and from all disciplines.

MED 121: Translational Research and Applied Medicine (MED 221)

(Same as MED 121; undergraduate students enroll in MED 121) Open to graduate students and medical students, this course enables students to learn basic principles in the design, performance and analysis of translational medical research studies. The course includes both didactic seminars from experts in translational medicine as well as the opportunity to design and present a translational research project. Students enrolling for 3 units are paired with a TRAM translational research project and work as a team with TRAM trainees and faculty on a weekly basis, as arranged by the instructor, and present a final project update at the end of the quarter. MTRAM students must enroll for a letter grade.

MED 124: Global Child Health (HUMBIO 124C)

Prerequisite: Must be a junior, senior, or graduate student. 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. HUMBIO students must enroll in HUMBIO 124C. Med/Graduate students must enroll in MED 124.

MED 139: Child and Family Resilience: Health Impacts and Interventions

This class offers an exploration of family and childhood resilience. In a world where children confront an array of formidable challenges, spanning from global crises like poverty and displacement to national issues such as escalating social disparities and mounting childhood trauma, it is imperative to recognize their innate capacity to surmount adversity. In this class, we will discuss how robust social support networks ¿such as friendships, mentorships, and community initiatives¿play a pivotal role in fostering a child's resilience amidst adversity and serve as protective factors in nurturing cohesive family structures. Furthermore, examining the role of community partners in bolstering resilience will unveil the intricate network of support crucial for vulnerable populations. Students will leave the course with a profound understanding of how families collectively navigate challenges, illuminating their dynamic responses as a cohesive unit while recognizing the child¿s experience with adversity and a family¿s response. With this understanding, they will be better prepared as future healthcare providers to support families in navigating adversity.

MED 201: Internal Medicine: Body as Text

Body as Text refers to the idea that every patient's body tells a story. The narrative includes the past and present of a person's social and medical condition; it is a demonstration of the phenotype. The art of reading the body as text was at its peak in the first half of the 20th century, but as technology has become ascendant, bedside skills and the ability to read the text have faded. Beyond scientific knowledge and medical facts, it is this often forgotten craft which is at the heart of the excitement of being an internist. This course introduces students to the art of the clinical exam, to developing a clinical eye, and learning to see the body in a completely different way. Enrollment will be based on a lottery system, for which details will be sent to first year students at the end of mini quarter.
