Most online learning platforms aim to provide mass affordable access to education — something that's increasingly and especially important in areas like public health.

To help healthcare professionals and medical students gain crucial — even life-saving — skills quickly and flexibly, Coursera, which already hosts over 3,000 affordable online courses, also currently offers 12 public health courses completely for free.

The courses span topics ranging from disaster preparedness and infection prevention in nursing homes to disease screening in epidemics. Students can learn the essentials of global health from Yale University, as well as what a disease cluster is from Johns Hopkins University, all free of cost, or they can pay for optional certificates (usually $49) to add to their resumes or LinkedIn profiles.
