I found the Professional Certificate in Health Policy Advocacy and Public Affairs to be a solid course that provided a good foundation in health policy and advocacy. As someone working in the healthcare sector in Japan, I was looking to gain a better understanding of the global landscape of health policy. The course content was informative, and I appreciated the variety of case studies and examples from different countries. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on stakeholder engagement and communication strategies. The course materials were well-structured, and the discussions with peers were helpful in gaining different perspectives. While I felt that some topics could have been explored in more depth, overall, I'm pleased with the knowledge and skills I gained from this course.
