There are many professionals working in the public health field, with a wide range of views. In their future work, the students will be involved in the organisation and implementation of public health policy in all aspects of promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The policies adopted will vary from one professional to another, depending on whether they are working within a governing body or an establishment, whether their responsibilities are managerial or technical, whether their scope of intervention is health or social, etc. Despite these diversities, the most important aim is to work together to improve the health of the population. A comparison of different policies is inevitable in the professional world. It is a permanent invitation to change, to develop practices, in order to optimise collaboration. In this context, the module will enable students to compare their views on how to resolve a public health problem. Based on active teaching methods of problem solving, this module offers a special opportunity for students to share their knowledge and their approaches to public health problems.
