There are many classes at Ohio State that have transformed me as a student. However, one stands out in particular. In the spring of 2020, I took the health promotion and ideas prevention class that is a requirement for my major. From the first lecture, I knew that this class would become one of my favorites. The professor was well-versed in the subject, and was truly interested in helping us learn more about the topic. Throughout the course, we learned about health promotion through public policy, media, and many other channels. We are learned about disease prevention through the health promotion channels. I further developed my interest in public health through this course, and was able to apply the information even further when COVID-19 was announced as pandemic. By watching the news, reading articles, and keeping up to date with the World Health Organization, I was able to utilize the information gathered in this course to understand different aspects of this outbreak. This class changed some ideas I held about public health, strengthening my skills as a future health professional!
