Week 5 Final project – Significant Contributions to Public Health

Week 5 – Final Submission

Significant Contributions to Public Health – Part II

This is a continuation of your final project, which you
started in Week 3. This last piece involves an analysis of how your
individual’s contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s
public health system and how it might guide future work within the industry. As
you recall, in week 3, you researched an individual and their contribution to
community and public health. To begin, you need to review the feedback given to
you from Week 3. Then, make the necessary revisions to Part I of this project.
Then, you will be adding the second half to your project.

Follow this outline to help formulate your paper or
presentation:

ACTION: Make sure you review all the feedback from your Week
3 (Part I) assignment and apply any necessary revisions. Your week 3 assignment
should have included each of the following elements:

terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental and technological context in
which this person worked.

relevant today
