You have recently been hired by the local health department to work in the Infectious Disease Unit. Your first assignment is to
give a presentation to the Board of Directors regarding one infectious disease (remember to make sure it is an infectious disease) which has recently been detected in a neighboring county. Your presentation can be a PowerPoint, Sway -- you can decide but it must include at a minimum the following information: Name of the disease
Cause of the disease
Statistics regarding the disease
Treatments of the disease
Risks of the disease
Symptoms of the disease
Create a draft of your presentation. Remember you are presenting to the Board of Directors and you want to impress them. Adding pictures, charts, and other colorful images can help to keep their attention. Use discretion when choosing the pictures for your presentation. Upload your presentation to the Unit 3: Infectious Disease Project. Proceed to the next dropbox assignment.
