The Department of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is hosting a Global Health Systems Summer Institute. The Institute provides an opportunity for early- to mid-career public health professionals to expand their skill sets related to global health topics. IVAC faculty Dr. Bryan Patenaude and Gatien de Broucker will be teaching an online course on Disease and Program Costing in Global Health Programs (June 24–28, 8:00–10:50am).
This course provides a solid foundation in the key concepts and methods used for costing in global contexts with a focus on practice and policy. Focuses on defining costs and rationales for costing, quantifying the cost, defining the disease case, and identifying cost components that vary by country and settings. Discusses the challenges of costing in low- and middle-income settings and prepares students to design and execute a cost analysis on a global health program and on a disease. Helps students frame cost data and economic evidence for policymaking and advocacy. Includes topics such as taxonomy of costs, perspectives, epidemiological considerations, evaluating data sources, patient/caregiver economic survey design, analysis methods, and dissemination techniques.
Registration is now open and ends officially on May 24, 2024. However, after this date, it is still possible for students to add (or drop) courses.
