I'm a Social Work student. I've just began my studies and we're looking at the differences between the different concentrations within the Collaborative Human Health Services field. Just wanted to say, "thank you." This is by far, the best explanation of Public Health I've seen.

Dear Greg, (you might not immediately remember me from PHDC), but I just want to say this is a brilliant video!!! I love your sequence of explaining each concept simply as 2 things. Also you are really engaging on camera, and the technique of having you move around the screen with the drawings is absolutely captivating! Sara Ritchie
