Dear Teachers and Students collegues,

After reading and understanding the foundation of this course in public health practice, I gained new knowledge in terms of public health. Although my abilities are strengthened, it is my responsibility to implement or apply these skills in our routine work to save lives.

I can never end without saying thank you to the various presenters or course providers for their frank collaboration and assiduity in the rich content of the courses, which we have taken note of and will use as a review in the future. Thereafter, I also thank the colleagues of this forum for the formative discussion in a fraternal atmosphere with more edifying ideas. I learned a lot from you dear colleagues.

Learning has no age, we are all obliged to learn further knowledge or strengthen our capacities for a noble work to save lives either through prevention, life extension and ultimately treatment in the case of emergencies.

That said, see you soon in other sessions.

Yours sincerely,

I really enjoyed taking part on this ICL course (Foundation of PH practice: the PH approach). I have completed the first part (4 weeks) with high grades but most importantly learning new concepts around PH practice and approaches. All the materials and speakers were great and very professional. The last week (week 4) was a bit challenging and required that I did put the previous knowledge (first 3 weeks) to the test. I had no previous understanding or links to PH so valued this experience. Looking fwd to attend more of the same training in the future.

This course is excellent! The effort they put into coming up with this interactive and well-versed course just amazes me. I'm not gonna lie, it was challenging! The quizzes, discussion prompts, and the final assignment really test your understanding of the subject! I had a public health subject back in college but this course taught key concepts I have not learned before. I guess that's a taste of Imperial College London for us! Never thought I'd have fun learning this course! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to learn more about public health!

Thank you so much to Coursera, Public health team at Imperial College of London, Dr Pinder and National University of Colombia for allowing me to participate in this course. I really enjoy it, I learnt different approaches in public health, the interactive learning tools were so innovative and I shared my experiences with students from different parts of the globe. Many thanks!

Coming from an economics background to Public health I wasn't sure I could catch up easily, but this program has opened me up to the possibility of becoming the best of me, and the ease of learning on this platform is second to none. I cherish this opportunity and won't trade it for anything. Thank you coursera.

The course was a great introduction to Public Health. The lessons and assignments set were challenging and allowed me to gain an in depth passion for this subject area. With the recent pandemic its been good to know the people who are working behind the scenes. Looking forward to the next part of the course.

Nice course with lots of new concepts and useful views even for those who are adjacent to health practices. The only flaw is that the course should be readapted to the COVID present because it created, changed and reinforced lots of things that maybe this course doesn't take in account.

I enjoyed very much, and did all the sections with a lot of enthusiasm and learnt a lot in every single part. Although, I am a Public Health professor and have experience working in the field, this review has been helpful to reflect over our jobs as consultants and teaching.

The course provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of public health. It touches upon the scope, origins, ethics, principles, and paradigms of public health practice. This breadth of knowledge makes it valuable for me, building an impact health solution.

The course instructors, materials and topics covered were all outstanding. The theory framework presented was clear and always relevant, and I especially appreciate their efforts in making students get into the public health worker mindset from the first lecture.

The Public Health Foundational course is incredible!

The video teachings are simplified and the reading recommendations are quite resourceful.

The Discussion prompts are also mentally stimulating and helpful for knowledge application.

The course is holistic. For anyone transitioning from any field to the Public Health field, this course is exactly what you need. It introduces you to Public Health in its holistic form without being intimidating or overwhelming.

“Foundations of Public Health Practice: The Public Health Approach” is a very useful course for people who want to get familiarized, at first level, with matters about public health. It provides essential ideas plus skillsets .

It is a great course that is suitable both for those who have some experience in public health and those who are new in the field. The tasks are interesting to complete and the instructors are very enthusiastic about the topic.

The course gave me valuable insights into the public health practice, although I already work in the field for a while but a lot of information were new to me. Thank you Imperial College London and thanks to Coursera.

After completing this course I now have a strong and solid basic knowledge about public health and will definetely take the rest of the courses that Imperial College of London has to offer in public health.

I enjoyed and learned a great deal from the readings and the fact that were not just focused on the UK. Application of the learnings & peer review of the final assignment reinforced the learnings well.

It is an excellent course! I think it provides the most fundamental elements for initiation into public health practice. I have high expectations for the following courses in this specialization.

Excellent guidance and learning experience. Grateful to Manipal academy of higher education for making this as a mandatory course project. Wish to learn more and serve more.

Excellent presentation. I especially appreciated the video clips and ease of saving notes. I also appreciated the variety of delivery styles presented during the course.

Really help me to understand the basics concepts of public health and how to apply them in specific situations that we usually didn't know to proceed

Very helpful for someone who likes to have career in public health as this course comprehensively covers all the basics that one needs to know

Excellent introduction to Public Health, content well presented and laid out. I find it very easy to follow and the concepts well explained.

I found this course is effective. It covers Fundamentals of public health practices in the most simplified and interesting way possible.

I learned a lot of interesting things from these four courses. it was also very challenging, which is what we all need, to be challenged.
