TOP REVIEWS FROM THE PEOPLE, POWER, AND PRIDE OF PUBLIC HEALTH
The short course explains well what constitutes public health and how it has so many aspects and people of diverse fields working for the well being of the public.
The course is highly inspiring and motivated me to see hold strong to public health as my field of study. Indeed public health goes beyond borders.
Very nice course, interactive and perfect. Just that it would be good if everyone is allowed to complete the assessment regardless of certification.
Wow! This is unlike other courses. This is a compilation and celebration of the people who are silently working for the good of all.
