What others are saying about this eLearning course:
"I wanted to congratulate you on the e-learning course that Global Health has online. We just received this and a few of us have taken the course and gotten the nifty certificates. What a wonderful idea! I am going to have my entire team (over 112 people) take this. Many of our staff are not clinical and work in support roles in admin, finance, and programs, and are not familiar with the basics of HIV. It [the HIV Basics e-learning course] has great information and is a wonderful review of HIV '101.'"
