Reflection
The knowledge, skills and abilities I have acquired in this course will help me in the field
of epidemiology. In the sense that, through this course I have been enlightened more on the
primary, secondary and tertiary way of preventing a disease. Through this course, I have learnt
that a disease can only and possibly be eliminated or eradicated when the entire community get
involved. And how can they get involved if they have no knowledge about the disease at hand or
about how diseases come about, how they spread from person to person and from place to place
The community need to be informed and educated so that they can participate in the process and
in such way, the possibility of eradicating a disease become possible.
The most interesting assignment was the final project submission because the time I
found out that I need to submit the whole project was unfavorable to me and it happen in a busy
week so I had to adjust my time and other stuff so I can put things together in order to be able to
focus on the final project. It was a challenge for me, but I was able to overcome it at the due
time.
With what I have learnt from this course so far, I will personally practice it, like in the
case of preventing a disease primarily. Personal hygiene and educating myself and others when
there is an outbreak of a disease, how to prevent oneself from getting the disease and the best
way to reduce the spread of the disease.
