Greetings ERHD members and I trust that your summer is coming along well. With regards to the ERHD program during the summer, I regularly teach TWO COURSES. They are: (1) MPH 6005 African American Health and (2) MPH 6009 Capstone Experience in Ethnic Health and Health Disparities. The MPH 6005 African American Health course is a 5 1/2 week course which ended at the end of June and the MPH 6009 Capstone course is a 11 week course which will end at the end of July.
My African American Health course and students were exceptional this summer because they had to go through so much due to COVID-19 and national events happening in our country. Well, here are some of the major topics of the Paper PROPOSALS submitted by my graduate medical and public health professionals at the end of the course. I was thoroughly IMPRESSED by all the papers and this was my LARGEST African American Health online class (20 graduate medical and public health professionals) since teaching it here at ECU!
