I chose the following courses because I believe they will make me a stronger and more effective health justice advocate. My history courses have provided essential knowledge as to how our health care system came to be; by understanding this context, I am better equipped to make meaningful change in health policy. My courses focusing on the field of global health have instilled in me the tenets of good global health work: collaboration, community engagement, and interdisciplinary efforts. Other courses, such as Statistics and Bioethics, have provided me important tools as I go forward in my professional career. Taken together, these courses have prepared me to apply the principles of global health to health care issues here at home.
