Educational Tools & Links for Continued Learning
This section provides free educational resources for people interested in teaching subjects related to public and environmental health. Resources have been gathered from fellow teachers, professors, non-teaching experts, and Internet and library resources.
The majority of these resources are from the United States. We plan to add information for other countries; if you know of additional resources, please email Dr. Gilbert. Thank you!

A Story of Health
Free e-book on the science behind good health, told through a fictional lens. Case-based learning has long been used in medical education. Our eBook grounds the science of health in stories of fictional people, their families, and communities to enable readers to explore the risk factors for disease as well as how to prevent disease and promote health and resilience. A Story of Health was developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR); the Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE); the University of California, San Francisco, Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (UCSF PEHSU); the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, California EPA (OEHHA); and the Science and Environmental Health Network (SEHN).
