This unit describes the management and control of chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease) and emergent infectious diseases using a multidisciplinary approach. <br/><br/>Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, emerging epidemics, over-nutrition and environmental diseases are studied in some depth in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations. Students investigate strategies to control these diseases including clinical, psychosocial and cultural approaches. <br/><br/>Students are also introduced to environmental risk assessment and the process of identifying and quantifying the risk of community exposures to potential hazards. -- Course Website
