Tufts University - Courses List


Population Health


This course is intended to confront and promote you, as veterinary students, to discover the relationships between people health and civic health, animal health and human health, and clinical and population-based health practice.


Population Medicine


The principle of this course is to transfer your concentration away from the pathophysiologic effects of disease on individuals, and refocus it on a much bigger question: what connection will you and your patients have with the health of the community? In this course, we will use the elderly as a model population to discover the intersection between clinical practice and population medicine.


Preclinical Complete Denture Prosthodontics


Preclinical absolute Denture Prosthodontics is the fundamental total denture course for second year Dental students. This is the preliminary course to the treatment of the edentulous patient and continues as the student progresses to the superior Clinical Complete Denture Lecture Series and the clinical treatment of patients.


Producing Films for Social Change


This is an intensive, hands-on editorial and making course in which students pitch their ideas and then research, report, produce, shoot, write, and edit their own short documentary films on social issues touching the local community, the U.S., or the humankind. Readings and discussions center of attention on recent news, media ethics, media literacy, the declining credibility of the press, journalists' responsibilities to the community, social justice issues, First Amendment principles, corporate media ownership, media images of women and people of color, and the powerful role of media (TV news, documentaries, new media, digital storytelling) as tools for civic engagement and positive social change. We will cover the basic principles and techniques of video journalism, including directing, lighting, camera work, composition, interviewing, and character development. The classroom will be run like a newsroom, working collaboratively under deadlines with editorial guidance from Senior and Executive Producers. Students work in production teams on their films. The aim of this course is to help students become media literate and to hone their skills as producers and consumers of news through screenings, critiques, and guest lectures by prominent journalists, filmmakers, activists, and policy makers.
