Course Description
This course introduces the student to the current
issues in public health today from a local perspective
to a global perspective. It includes such areas
as community health problems, communicable
disease control and the roles of public health
professionals including public health nurses.
Shadow a Public Health Official
Ocean County College has arranged a partnership with the Ocean County Health Department to have our students shadow a public health professional for a typical day in public health. Students are able to experience environmental investigations, public health nursing on the front lines, preparation for a bioterrorism event or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, better known as the WIC Program.
This can be one of the most memorable and exciting college experiences and an introduction to a new career in public health!
