 AVIAN FLU UPDATE  (H5N1)

 (Note that this is not the H1N1 pandemic flu, but the MUCH more serious avian influenza A/H5N1 that has been with us since 2003 (and for a brief time in 1997).  A pandemic of this viral illness would be 200 times more severe than the H1N1 and would exceed the worst epidemic in human history (1918 flu) by 20 times.  Check this page for the latest epidemiology and outbreak situation in Haiti.

 The STUDENT HANDBOOK for the School of Occupational and Public Health has answers to many questions about the program, the courses, transfer credits, deadlines, etc. It is  available at:   http://www.ryerson.ca/sophe/current

 NOTE RE POWERPOINT MATERIAL

The PowerPoint material you see in class is mostly the same material with the same examples that are included in your course notes.  This is one reason, I do not post all the PP sets on the Proteus site. The other reason is that if you want to pass the course you have to DO the work yourself; it's the only way to learn the material.

 You should be reading the printed material, attending class, taking notes, joining in the discussions, and completing the exercises and analyses. I have received several requests for all powerpoint presentations to be placed on the Proteus site.  This will not happen for material that is either well covered elsewhere in the CCDM text, the manual, or the lectures and discussions.

However, I WILL be posting selected PP slides that illustrate particularly important topics, especially where this has not been completely covered in the text.
