The group was involved with health education, community forums and advocacy efforts. Public health concerns in this region are closely tied to poverty and social inequity. Students visited low-resource rural areas to learn creative ways in which local health educators practice public health as well as have hands-on training in community health and advocacy efforts. Students were immersed not only in the broader Mexican culture, but also spent time learning about the ancient pre-Hispanic traditions that still influence how health is understood and practiced. | |||
