Overview
For many centuries, the care for individuals and population health has been the domain of medical science. However, it is widely recognised that modern health problems are complex and cannot be solved only by hospitals and medical doctors. Many diseases are related to lifestyles, the social and physical environment, access to information and the opportunities for making healthy choices.
You become a Health and Society expert by:
- Being context-sensitive in the domains of science and health promotion.
- Taking into account the degree to which people have (financial) means for health protection and improvement. This is based on geographical orientation, social justice, and inequalities and inequities between regions.
- Embedding health and health promoting activities in social life.
Career prospects
The graduates of Health and Society programme from Wageningen University and Research work for governments, health care institutes or arbo services.
