Design and assessment of a public health course as a general education elective for non-medical undergraduates.

ABSTRACT: Although public health programs among undergraduate students have been increasing and gaining popularity worldwide, few studies have focused on the needs and structure of public health courses for non-medical students. This study aimed to design a public health course as a general education elective for non-medical undergraduates at Nankai University, one of China's leading multidisciplinary and research-oriented universities. Students' feedback on the course was collected and analyzed after the completion of the elective course. We designed and developed the course under the general education elective course at Nankai University. The course includes four segments: (a) Public Health Fundamentals and Population Research Methods; (b) Chemical Safety and Health, (c) Diet, Nutrition, and Healt
