TOP REVIEWS FROM DISEASE CLUSTERS
Great learning experience .Content of course is crisp and clean and helps you gain confidence over skills you learn
Wonderful Course. I learned lots, and the case studies kept it interesting. Great idea for final project.
The peer review assignment takes a little while to get graded because there aren't that many people enrolled, otherwise, it's a great class with case study lectures that showcase disease clusters.
this course gives a wide scope of what it takes to manage a disease as well as the job of a public health worker in the field. wonderful time spent
