Meade High – BMAH Public/Intern Health 1

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

BMAH Public & International Health 1 is an 11th grade BMAH Pathway 2 course for the Advanced Learner in the BMAH Magnet program. It is the first in a series of three courses in the Public and International Health Pathway. In this course, students will explore how the public health sector works to improve human health through the development and application of knowledge that prevents disease, protects the public from harm, and promotes health throughout the state, nation, and the world. Immersed in problem-based learning and critical thinking, students in this first of three one-semester courses, will develop and apply knowledge from multiple disciplines to explore the origins of public health, public health policies, the agencies involved in the public health sector, and local, national, and global issues with a focus on Nutrition and Social Behavior. This course receives Advanced Weighting (the same as AP courses) because it has a prerequisite that is Advanced Placement.
