“My time in Quito has taught me that public health looks different in different countries, communities and cultures. As I continue on my journey and progress in my career as a public health professional, I hope to incorporate interculturality into my practices as I work with diverse communities, especially in the global public health sectors.”

"I came away with an increased understanding of environmental health, and how all determinants of health are tied to that. I also learned a lot from my classmates, who came from a variety of public health and personal backgrounds, which meant there were diverse and compelling perspectives everywhere we went.
While this course was only two weeks, I felt that I learned more practical knowledge than in any of my other public health courses so far."
