Tell us how you will use what you have learned:
- I watched learning opportunity #1 and# 5. In #1, I really liked the idea of the WHOLE community knowing about the public health initiatives and taking on a mission of improving health for all. In #5, I enjoyed thinking about real world impact of research studies/program evaluations and how we might measure that. This will help me think about research I consume in a different way.
