Taking a 21st Century View of
Personal Health and Health Care...  

People today are better educated about health and health care issues. They’re more take-charge when it comes to maintaining their health. They ask pointed questions of insurers and health care providers. And they’re more concerned than ever before about health care costs – and what they can do to control those costs while still protecting their health and well being. 

Couple those individual trends with a new focus on wellness education, the increased use of technology in health care, and the growing attention paid by health care practitioners to the relationship between fitness and long-term health, and you identify the driving forces behind the development of The Human Condition. 

In doing so, The Human Condition teleWEBcourse does far more than just offer a visionary look at the state of health and health care in the world today. It also provides colleges, universities, community education and other health care service organizations with a complete package of health education materials – a package whose components can be tailored for use as a complete distance learning course, as a quality adjunct to lecture-based instruction, or as part of community-based or company-sponsored wellness education programs.

Integrating Content to Meet Core Curriculum Requirements 

Through careful correlation of the content of the 26 episodes to companion print and online components, The Human Condition offers a complete package of instructional tools that can be customized to meet every teaching and learning situation – from the individualized learning environment of a distance education student, to the in-class lecture and discussion format offered by colleges, community service centers and corporate wellness education programs – and everything in between. 

The 26 episodes in the series focus on ten recurring and interrelated themes:

	The Biological, Social, and Economic Dimensions of Health
	Emotional and Mental Health
	Sexual and Reproductive Health
	The Life Cycle
	The Impact of Heredity and Lifestyle on Health
	Health and Chemical Substances
	Promoting Well Being Through Fitness and Nutrition
	The Battle Against Infectious and Chronic Diseases
	The Individual in the Health/Medical Marketplace
	Health Care and the Global Community

A carefully-correlated college-level textbook, Essential Concepts for Healthy Living (Jones & Bartlett Publishers, Boston, MA), has been selected for use with The Human Condition. A Study Guide supports student efforts to access and maximize the benefit of each component of the course, by providing study aids and reinforcement of lesson points covered in video episodes and the textbook. And available soon to institutions that license The Human Condition for distance learning…online resources and web-optimized course enhancements that can be imported into the most widely used online course management programs available today, including WebCT and Blackboard. This exciting new initiative from INTELECOM will offer maximum flexibility to colleges interested in The Human Condition as a teleWEBcourse. 

By providing quality health and health-related educational materials that are current and easy to understand - bringing into sharp focus such issues as emotional health, chemical dependency, global disease patterns, and the economic and social toll that disease and illness take on the family, the community, the nation and the world - The Human Condition offers an attractive teaching solution that can be used across a range of programs.
