| Abstract |
"Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I sometimes struggled to convince my students that crises matter. Crises are not just distractions from the work of public health, I insisted. In the blink of an eye, crises become the work of public health. To aspiring health officials, I might add: "A crisis might determine whether you succeed or fail in your job." To future advocates, I might point out: "A crisis might create your most powerful opportunity for change.""-- Provided by publisher. |
