Subject: Indigenous Health courses in School of Public Health Spring 2025


I am writing to tell you about two courses being offered in the School of Public Health Department of Health Systems and Population Health this spring that may be of interest to your students.

Hserv 490/590 Indigenous Determinants of Health is a new 2 credit course for undergrads and graduate students on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 230 to 320 pm.  The course is led by Dr. Derek Jennings, Dr Christina Ore and Dr Maya Magarati.  The purpose of this course is to share the breadth, depth, and diversity of American Indian and Alaska Native and other Indigenous peoples’ health and the health systems that serve them along the resilience continuum (survival to thrivance).  The topics covered will center determinants of health and wellness within tribal nations and Indigenous communities.

Hserv 473/573 Topics in Indigenous Health is a 2 or 3 credit course also for undergraduates and graduate students on Wednesdays from 3 to 520 pm. The 3 credit option includes volunteering in an indigenous serving organization or event for 20 hours over the course of the quarter.  Topics include Indigenous health frameworks, strengths-based perspectives centered in Native communities, and federal health policy pertaining to American Indians and Alaska Natives.  This course is team taught by Dr. Myra Parker, Dr Christina Ore and Dr Victoria Gardner.

Please let me know if you have any questions about these courses and help spread the word with your students.  Both classes are located in HSEB or Health Sciences Center. Thank you so much for your support and advocacy!

In solidarity,
Victoria
