Foundations of Health Communication Syllabus with Outcomes and Goals
COM 351W Foundations of Health Communication
Course Description:
The goal of this course is to help you develop a clear understanding of health communication messages and its
potential impact on different experiences in the lifespan. Understanding these messages will assist you in
becoming a more effective health consumer and provider. We will deconstruct health messaging as a broad
concept that includes physical, emotional, spiritual, social, mental, intellectual, and cultural issues. Therefore,
students will be exposed to a variety of health communication message topics, including doctor-patient
communication, the role of culture in health and disease, the health care organization, end of life
communication, e-Health and group influences on well-being.
