Learner Reviews & Feedback for Systems Thinking In Public Health by Johns Hopkins University

As someone already experienced in healthcare system finance and operations, lean, and financial modeling, this class opened up a new paradigm of thinking. The key lesson from this course is understanding the types and importance of engagement with various stakeholders. Without it, even the most illuminating modeling an analysis will go unused and have little impact. Awesome course!!! Thank you Dr. Bishai and Dr. Paina!

I learnt a lot about health systems from this course.

Very helpful

this course is really helped me with the way in thinking thank you so much

Great course definitely learned a lot and feel that they can be applied in many areas within my career

Great introduction to system thinking concepts, methods and tools. Accessible and very useful.

Very detailed and practical but too technical.

I thought this course was a wonderful introduction and overview of Systems Thinking in Public Health, with many valuable insights and real-world examples for the practical applications of the lecture topics. I would certainly recommend this to a friend or colleague. The supporting materials and vensim program were very accessible.

Like the class - course can become subject to different interpretations - but is the nature of the topic.

Amazing course, useful in daily life that let you think in multiple perspectives before making strategic choices

I learned a lot from the course that provided both theoretical constructs and examples of practical applications of the learning.

Very good class - many examples brought in to the lectures and exercises help with comprehension.

thanks

Unbelievably valuable course. So many insights and introductions to useful tools. Highly recommended.

very good.

So so interesting. Teaches you how systems are interlinked and this learning is applicable to all fields.

Very well done. Meeting my expectations. Very useful the material provided.

I learned a lot. Although the concepts were familiar to me, the tools were not. The instructors did a great job at introducing the Vensim and NetLogo. Thanks a bunch!

An excellent course with great information regarding public health.. great to learn, thanks..

This is an excellent course, with very good materials

I have learned a lot throughout this course, and this course gave me the epiphany that Public Health is what I earnestly want to study in college. The way of using the background knowledge from various subjects was definitely awe-inspiring. It felt like learning macroeconomics integrated with history and biology. It was truely a novel experience. I am so glad I chose to take this course!

I found this course useful as it corresponds to many approaches that I use or intend to use in my work on understanding the life cycles of technologies. The course instructors have carefully compiled relevant examples to make it easy to understand many tricky concepts. Tutorials at the end of 3rd and 4th week are pretty useful.

I would love to attend a course with more involvement of students through peer assignments etc.

Excellent course that gives a systematic insight into what to consider when looking at dynamic and complex systems in public health settings.

Would recommend this course to anyone who is looking at not just public health settings but also general policy settings within industry.

awesome course

Fantastic course, quite tricky but great to extend my thinking about health systems!
