Are you interested in preparing students to tackle real-time, complex challenges by exploring how policies shape health and how environments can support resilient communities?
One powerful way to do this is by integrating Health in All Policies (HiAP) framework and tools such as the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) into academic offerings.
Whether you're looking to teach a stand-alone course or embed these concepts into existing curricula—in public health, urban planning, policy, environmental studies, social work, education, data science, health care administration or related disciplines—this virtual forum is designed for you.
