This program prepared me to be an outstanding health educator by conducting research, developing lesson plans, developing health needs programs, implementing health needs programs, assessing the health needs of various populations, and advocating for vulnerable people. The excellent professors offered immense support throughout the health education courses. I am pleased with the knowledge, exposure, experiences, and confidence gained throughout my studies. Today, I am a proud, thriving Community Health Educator. The Community Health Education Program at Metropolitan College is excellent. Thank you, MCNY.
