Como punto de partida, se analizan las diferencias y puntos de integración entre la biomedicina, la medicina clínica y la salud pública. Se identifica a la salud pública como un campo interdisciplinario que estudia los fenómenos de salud/enfermedad en poblaciones –sus determinantes, naturaleza y distribución– y la manera en que las sociedades se organizan para responder a ellos. También se examina el concepto de salud global. El curso incluye discusiones sobre la medición de las necesidades de salud, la transición epidemiológica y las formas en que los sistemas de salud han evolucionado, tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel global.
