Activity Number 1.1

Program outcome 1: demonstrate foundational knowledge of health promotion and disease prevention.
The first project I picked for this outcome was from HS 300 Human diseases, a case study of COPD and Diabetes. This was significant in that this was one of the first times I had to express symptoms, prevention, risk factors, and community health education all from one case study. I remember stressing about this paper a lot. How was I going to be able to demonstrate what I have learned, not only in this class but also from being a working health professional? This was one of the fundamental papers that I completed that demonstrated my abilities. I was able to express the basics of Diabetes and COPD as it related to this one person and to the community. I was able to clearly list the basic symptoms of each disease along with the risk factors. I was not able to give adequate discussion into prevention with this paper, but as i look back on the classes I have taken, I can see how this paper and this class laid the foundation for community and personal prevention programs.
