They explore various health behaviours and examine health and social care systems. This pillar offers a holistic overview of the myriad factors outside of healthcare settings that shape individuals&#8217; health and illness.<\/p>\n<p>Pillar 4: Data Literacy equips students with the skills to understand and utilise scientific evidence in healthcare, supporting evidence-based practice. Through this pillar, students are introduced to epidemiological and biostatistical concepts. They learn how to critically appraise medical data and literature, enabling them to provide evidence-based recommendations to their patients.<\/p>\n<p>To further enhance our students&#8217; knowledge, we organise workshops that focus on the design, monitoring, and evaluation of both overseas and local community health programs. These workshops provide valuable insights and practical experience, empowering our medical students to make a positive impact in communities beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health Undergraduate Education Programmes Offered Expand The Second Major and Minor in Public Health provide a strong foundation in public health principles, enabling students to explore the field while complementing their primary area of study.
