Dr. Applebaum offers the below courses at the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions:

PHC6605: Social Determinants of Health

Co-Instructor: Dr. José Colon-Burgos

Using established conceptual frameworks on the Social Determinants of Health, students will map the interrelationships among the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and Health Inequalities (HI) / Health Disparities (HD); and discuss the social origins of illness, disease, and suffering that contribute to HD in people's health.

HSC4930: Human-Animal Interaction and Health

This course introduces students to the health implications of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI). We will primarily focus on companion animals (i.e., pets) in the U.S., though other HAIs and contexts will be discussed. Students will map the interrelationships between various HAIs, the broader social environment, and human and animal health.
