Students are also introduced to the principles of public health and primary health care, followed by an investigation of the strategies used in public health, in the context of public health planning frameworks as well as developing skills to improve communication competence in public health. More complex issues of nutrition will be examined as they affect vulnerable communities, with a special focus on the effects nutrition has on oral health.
