Course Description: Outlines & Topics
Gene and environment interaction as epigenomic modulations contributes significantly to disease process, which is not very fully understood in clinical medicine and population/public Health. The understanding of how DNA sequence as genomics and interaction with several environment such as physical. chemical, air pollutants, toxic waste, imbalance nutrition, stress, racial discrimination, isolation, drugs, alcohol, etc, predispose to racial/ethnic minorities and underserved white subpopulation disease differentials and marginalized health, will transform health equity, locally, regionally and nationally as well as global health. Below is the course outlines in this program for one to encourage public health instructors/professors to initiate this as the major proponent of this course, as well as for one to teach this course remotely as an online course. If the environment is very well addressed, the US will improve public health, which is marginalized the US, with respect to the developed nation health ranking.

Major Proponent, Epigenomic Clinical Medicine & Public Health All schools of Public and Population Health are required to contact one to encourage public health faculty to initiate this course with graduate students at any public health institution remotely in this nation and globally. Since environment predispose to aberrant epigenomic modulations, due to abnormal DNA sequence, there remains a need to address's this disease causation in improving human health. All SPH regardless of their recognition and achievements must focus on the training of graduate public health students in the understanding of the specific risk determinants in aberrant epigenomic modulation.
All institutions with commitment and dedication in addressing population and subpopulations health needs to apply this trajectory by affiliating with Professor Holmes in subpopulations diseases marginalization in transforming health equity - [email protected]/ [email protected]/[email protected]
