Advanced seminar course focuses on aging and health disparity as it relates to homeless, medically indigent, migrant, and disabled populations. Course topics increase awareness of the problems faced by these groups and the societal factors that create disparity. Students identify solutions to help reduce and eliminate health disparities, expand minority health and health disparity research education, and provide information to these groups about intervention, prevention, and management of disease. Information from this course may be used to develop a capstone project.
