  • I LOVED THIS COURSE. Dude, I cannot recommend this course enough to folks interested in social work in healthcare. This course contains three big assignments, that all help you build the ability to navigate complex situations, converse with people who have worked in and received medical care. It's so interesting, and I wish I could retake it. But Professor Toni Lemon is what makes this course shine. She is so brilliant, I learned so much from her, and I hope you do too! Course readings were very manageable, grading scheme was very obvious and outlined, and the assignments were very doable.

  • Course was a bit broad but had a great community feeling and uses a lot of discussion based learning tactics. There was weekly reflections, a group presentation, and a final paper.
