The project reflects two or more of the curricular themes below that are revisited throughout the baccalaureate curriculum:

Health as a Moral Endeavor: Exploring the moral importance of health and healthcare considering individual and societal commitments and obligations including the fair use of limited resources.

Health Equity: Having equitable access and the means and resources to attain one’s full life potential.

Life Course Perspective: The cumulative evolutionary, pre-generational, pre-natal, and life events and circumstances that influence health at any one point in time.

One Health [Human-Animal-Environment]: The inextricable relationship among animal, human, and environmental health as determined by, e.g. evolutionary biology, human behavior, and environmental phenomena.

Cultural Relevance: The lens through which life events are experienced and interpreted and through which meaning is ascribed.

Local/Global Impact: Appreciation for the global systems that influence the processes, dynamics, and activities of the world’s populations; health as a multi-faceted state-shaped within, e.g., biological, socio-cultural, geographic, economic, and political contexts.
