To improve the health outcomes of the population you serve, it is crucial to be self-aware. To achieve self-awareness, it is important to reflect on your experiences, feedback from peers/lecturers and your own perspective of your personal abilities. This reflective assessment has been designed to develop the cognitive and critical thinking skills essential for a career in public health. This assessment will allow you to broaden your own understanding of each topic by engaging in academic discourse while developing your skills to reflect in formal discussions with your peers. It will allow you to develop your ability to reflect on learning content and discuss and share ideas in a professional manner.
