Professionals in public health practice around the world are facing challenges — familiar, new and emerging.

Infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumonia and the HIV/AIDS pandemic continue to be problematic causes of mortality on a global-scale while emerging epidemics such as H1N1 influenza, SARS, avian influenza and Ebola virus have pandemic potential, capturing the attention of the public and of public health professionals alike. Learn how to manage such health crises on a local and global scale, helping thousands or even millions of people across your career.
