This Changemaker Microcourse will focus on developing critical analysis and practical public health skill building related to making change as a public health professional.

To create and sustain environments and policies that promote health, public health professionals need to know how to communicate effectively about the changes they seek and use strategies to reach their target audiences and build public support. In this course students will learn skills and strategies to communicate effectively and persuasively, and to engage with the media to advance public health policy goals. The way public health professionals talk about health disparities, and the factors that contribute to those inequities have a direct impact on the kinds of solutions decision makers and the public think are possible. This practice-based course will provide students with foundational concepts in strategic communication and “media advocacy” as well as give them the opportunity to practice and receive feedback from each other and from the instructors.
