The course, led by Professor Junko Yasuoka, provided students with a comprehensive overview of global health issues in both developing and developed contexts. It emphasized international collaboration mechanisms such as bilateral and multilateral partnerships, public–private partnerships, and the roles of key stakeholders including WHO, JICA, and international NGOs.
My Role
As a Teaching Assistant, I supported both instructional and interactive components of the course:
- Facilitated lectures and group discussions on major global health challenges: communicable and non-communicable diseases, demographic transitions, health policy, community participation, gender and minority health, and outbreak response.
- Assisted students with individual and group assignments, providing constructive feedback on presentations.
- Guided collaborative projects that applied theoretical knowledge to real-world global health scenarios.
- Fostered discussions that connected course concepts to the future direction of global health in the 21st century.
