Let's talk about it: A Health and Immigration Teach Out

Johns Hopkins University

About this Course

As the United States grapples with both the short-term and long-term impacts and considers how different groups and individuals are affected, it can easily become overwhelming to keep up with conversations about health and immigration. Most people can generally agree that health and immigration policy affect ALL communities, families, and individuals in one way or another.
This Teach-Out is designed to help you have a more well-informed discussion about health and immigration.
As part of this Teach-Out, you will hear the first-hand perspectives of researchers, elected officials, healthcare systems, business leaders, and community members. You will get a sneak peek into safe spaces within the immigrant community.  Along the way, you will also get to test yourself and your knowledge about immigration and health, and do a fact-check with helpful resources and information. Last but not least, you will share in the spirit of a Teach-Out: bringing people together to learn about and address a current and important topic in society.

At the end of each lesson, you will be asked to practice how to talk about it by sharing your thoughts and reflections on the different topics that were discussed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What is a Teach-Out?
Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days to learn about a subject or event and gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events provide opportunities for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.
I see there is a quiz -- do I have to pass the quiz to complete a Teach-Out?
We're offering these Teach-Outs on a platform designed for learning, so sometimes we take advantage of the platform tools. Quizzes are one way of helping everyone "get on the same page" about the topic, and be better able to discuss and ask questions. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want in order to pass, or you can move past them if you aren't interested in testing your knowledge.
Does a Teach-Out have a fee?
Teach-Outs are free learning experiences.
Can I get a completion certificate?
No, this isn't a course, therefore we don't offer a Course Certificate.
