Free Online Public Health Courses

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on June 25th, 2005

If you’re interested in learning more about public health, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is offering free online courses via their OpenCourseWare (OCW) project.

The Bloomberg School’s OCW:

  • does not require that participants register

  • does not grant degrees or certificates

  • does not provide access to JHSPH faculty

Challenges to the world’s health escalate daily. As part of its mission to protect health and prevent disease and disability, the School feels a moral imperative to provide equal and open access to information and knowledge about the obstacles to the public’s health and their potential solutions.

Courses include Statistical Reasoning in Public Health, History of Public Health, and Problems in the Design of Epidemiological Studies.

This makes me proud to be an alumna of the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

    Are these free online PH courses still available? If so, how would I enroll. Would also like to see Health Communications as a course since the lack of understanding and comprehension of health info prevents optimum health, wellness and disease prevention.
