Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2025-26

La asignatura tiene una doble finalidad. La primera, profundizar en el estudio de los determinantes en el medio ambiente y en la salud, así como su impacto para la población. De esta forma, se analizarán los procesos de cooperación desde la perspectiva de la salud internacional, acercándonos al estudio de las fuentes metodoloógicas, estadísticas y analíticas en materia sanitaria, así como una visión panorámica de los organismos intgernacionales más relevantes en la materia. La segunda finalidad, abordar aquellos aspectos metodológicos básicos para realizar de manera autónoma investigaciones en los ámbitos analíticos de la especialidad del master, así como la salida al terreno.
