Abstract
Using GIS as a Teaching Tool in Public Health
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Simon Choi
GIS has become another tool for public health professionals to track the status and distribution of health indicators. Epidemiologists, public health administrators, certified environmental hygienists, and other public health professionals are utilizing GIS more often. Public health students should acquire a working knowledge and understanding of GIS to become the public health professional for the 21st century. Interactive modules and hand-on exposure give public health students an opportunity to benefit from GIS.
