Ibis Reproductive Health

International reproductive health course at Harvard School of Public Health

This annual seminar, taught by Ibis staff at the Harvard School of Public Health, gives students the opportunity to explore the development and implementation of reproductive health research projects and programmatic initiatives in international settings. Through the examination of weekly case studies, students are given a better understanding of the complexity of working in the field of reproductive health in the international context and an appreciation of the ways in which the perspectives and methods of various health and social science disciplines can be integrated in the development of effective health programs. Topics covered in the course include family planning, emergency contraception, abortion, and HIV/AIDS. Ibis staff draw on case studies from Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East, and identify technical and programmatic challenges as well as successful interventions.
