to become informed and engaged health professionals, able to think critically about
health-related issues and work as part of a healthcare team to develop innovative
solutions to current and future healthcare issues. Coursework focuses on the core
functions of the healthcare system while emphasizing strategies to promote population
health. In addition, the curriculum provides a venue for career exploration. The IHS
