Assignments
one of my favorite MPH courses. great discussions
Ms. McDougall is an amazing coordinator who never forces her ideas on anyone but instead encourages discussion and self-exploration. She includes many interesting case studies throughout the course. To fully benefit from the knowledge and skills this subject offers, I think a genuine passion for and career interest in bioethics is required.
