Public Health e-learning Courses

Submitted by Martin Walker on Mon, 10/16/2017 - 09:01

Hello Everyone,

I have received a query from a colleague asking if there are any e-learning courses about Public Health (generic or maritime) that can be accessed for free.

Beyond those offered by WHO, SHIPSAN ACT, US CDC (Food Safety), GLOBallast and FutureLearn there are no others that spring to mind.

Can anyone offer other suggestions?

Best Regards,

Martin Walker, Facilitator, Ports and Shipping Group
