-: Hi everyone, and welcome to module 14.
It's the final module of this course.
This week is particularly exciting to me
as we're gonna be discussing future trends in global health,
including climate change, artificial intelligence,
and global health security.
I think this module is the most interesting
and exciting to me because it's important to think about
where we all as students, as learners,
and as global health professionals, will fit
into helping to solve some
of these future global health priorities and challenges.
I encourage you all to be especially curious in this module
and bring in outside readings related to your own interests,
whatever they may be that are related
to a specific population, a specific health issue,
or disease, or a setting environment, or something else.
This week, you have some readings and videos to watch.
In addition to my lecture, you should watch the video from
the Great Global Health Debate from the Consortium
of Universities for Global Health Conference in 2024.
This conversation compared the pros
and cons of our AI in global health,
and it's a very interesting lesson.
If you find this video helpful,
The Consortium of Universities for Global Health
or CUGH has a conference every year that I encourage you
to attend or to watch recorded sessions online.
Every year, they have
what they call a great global health debate
in which they have two speakers arguing for
or against some global health issue
that's important in that particular year.
In addition to the didactic materials, you're going
to submit the final paper this week.
Please let me know if you have any questions about my
feedback on your first draft of the guidelines,
but unfortunately, I will not be able
to offer any extensions on the final paper assignment
as final grades are due at the end of this week.
In addition to submitting the final paper, you have a quiz
and a discussion on Yellowdig.
As always, feel free to reach out
with any questions or concerns.
I hope you have a great week,
and you all have done an amazing job on the course overall,
so thank you for going through it with me.
