Principales reseñas sobre SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS: THE BUILDING BLOCKS
As usual, a very impressive presentation and lecture from Dr. Emily Gurley! Simplified for all of us once more! God bless
I fully enjoyed the course. The doctors that gave each lesson made it easier than I thought. The quizzes were not easy which I really liked because it made me study even harder.
It was good introduction of surveillance system, the Nipah and rota virus examples from Bangladesh was very helpful in deeper understanding. Thank you
Most of the learners come from non- English speaking countries. Thanks, Emily Gurley for teaching us with an easily understandable accent.
