Health Care Leadership Courses in Development

In the internet age, and especially with social media, anyone can believe themselves an expert in a given field.

This course aims to present the challenges and opportunities faced by health experts and public health advocates, scholars, journalists, and those working in related fields to promote effective dissemination and comprehension of information about and related to public health.
