The students will learn about the biopsychosocial model of health and illness. We will explore the social and
psychological determinants of good physical and mental health. Through experience the students will learn about
the promotion of health behavior.
At the seminar the students will have to journal their own health behavior in a selected topic. Through discussions
the students will formulate hypotheses about the difficulties people face when maintaining health behavior. The
students will have to write an essay of 3-5 pages long in their own selected topic. The students will form groups
and plan an awareness day or an intervention program in the selected topic and present to the participants of the
seminar.
The planned activities on this seminar will be lecturing, reading, writing, discussing key topics of health behavior,
and student presentations.
