PSY-5301 - Foundations in Health Psychology

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

This course is an introduction to graduate studies in health psychology. Health psychologists use the scientific method to understand the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors to determine both health and illness. This area of psychology involves the application of psychological principles to prevent illness, improve personal health outcomes, and impact healthcare systems at large. Health psychologists work in helping professions, hospitals, social services, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations for which clinical training is not necessary. Current models/theories, subspecialties, history, ethical concerns, issues related to diversity, and research in health psychology will be explored.
