For this part of the assignment, you will create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker’s notes of at least 100 words for each slide, not including the title and reference slides.

Please see the HCA415 PowerPoint Instructions  Instructions document for expanded information on expected detail in your presentation.

The presentation will be based on your research of a historical figure in the public health world, their contribution to public health, and how their work helped shape the public health system that serves the community. Furthermore, you will analyze how their contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s public health system, and how it might guide future work within the industry.

This platform searches across most of the databases that the library subscribes to. Watch the How to Use Library One Search (Links to an external site.) video.

The “Credo Reference” database in the UAGC Library is a great place to conduct background research for the Final Assignment Parts 1 and 2. You can access Credo Reference by clicking on the “Encyclopedias & Dictionaries” button on the library homepage.

More specific database information is below. These are the specific databases that will be helpful for this assignment.

eBook Central: the library’s largest e-book database. E-books will have academic information that will be helpful in providing biographical and background information. This includes background information on the people listed as well as the health topics and time periods.

EBSCOhost and ProQuest: These are two of the library’s largest databases that will be useful resources after conducting initial, background research.

JSTOR: an archival database with scholarly articles. The articles will not be very recent; some may range from quite old to just a couple years old. This database will be helpful when analyzing the historical and social perspectives of each topic.
