New online education in Health GIS available
--------------------------------------------

A new online instructional course on using GIS for health applica-
tions, by Zvia Segal Naphtali, Ph.D., of New York University, is now 
available at:
http://campus.esri.com

Mapping for Health Care Professionals using ArcView GIS, shows how 
health care researchers and other professionals can use GIS to study 
epidemiology and the adequacy of health care resources. The course 
focuses on teaching students how to integrate health care data with 
geospatial data to analyze disease distribution, demographic vari-
ables related to health indicators, and the locations of health care 
providers. Students taking the course will work with real health data 
and use GIS tools for thematic mapping, proximity analysis, geocod-
ing, and geoprocessing. 

Dr. Naphtali is an adjunct clinical assistant professor at the New 
York University Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, 
and frequently presents workshops in the New York City area on using 
GIS for health-related research and public health monitoring.
