Course Description

This course provides a conceptual framework for identifying, creating, applying resources and advances in networking, telecommunications and telemedicine to specific diseases, problems in health care and public health. Resources on the Internet will be used to develop HTML documents. Databases will be explored to develop in-depth reports on individual diseases, resources, public health and infrastructure deficiencies, and health related issues of concern to military operational planners and health care executives. Use of Internet resources for database storage and access will be explored. Determinants of provider and patient attitudes will be explored.
