TOP REVIEWS FROM DISEASE CLUSTERS
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.
Very informative. The content was good, the delivery was easy to follow and the tests help to reinforce.
This is a supplimental course to my degree, nursing. This is where I incorporate public health to community health nursing, and in the future, medicine.
Great learning experience .Content of course is crisp and clean and helps you gain confidence over skills you learn
