Course Description: In the past, the terms health psychology and behavioral medicine have been used interchangeably. More recently, these practitioners have been required to attain expertise in medical disciplines such as microbiology, immunology, and health policy. With this shift, attempts have been made to establish a framework for understanding the role biology, psychology, and socio-environments play in disease development, maintenance, and treatment.
