Inspects the role of power within institutional settings - political, legal, and economic - in producing differential health outcomes across populations. Examples are drawn from global, U.S.-specific, and local sociocultural determinants. Participants have the opportunity to develop fluency in quantitative health databases, metrics common to population health, and visualizing comparisons in health outcomes.
