FYS 1278 - Gamifying Landmark Public Health Crises

Credits: 4
In this course, students will explore several historical public health crises by engaging in role-playing simulations. Students will examine three or four key historical health crises including Cholera and the AIDS epidemic. As a culminating project, students will research other public health issues and “pitch” games that could be created. This course will not only allow students to think deeply about the history of health care but will also develop the skill of empathy through considering opposite viewpoints as crisis points are navigated.
