“Recent Sample Quotes About My Work in Public Health” Estimados, A través de la pagina Nutrinfo, me ha llegado la historieta de "Como controlar la grasa y el colesterol". En primer lugar, quisiera agradecerles y comentarles que lo he utilizado en los talleres que realizamos semanalmente en la Unidad Sanitaria donde trabajo; y realmente me ha sido muy útil. Por otro lado, quisiera solicitarle, de ser posible, ¿como debería hacer para acceder a las otras historietas? y así trabajarlas en los talleres. Desde ya muchas gracias, y a la espera de su respuesta.

Dr. Balcazar, Thank you very much for the links to the educational materials from your research projects. They are far more interactive and interesting than anything that we are using right now in cardiology at Stanford. I am going to include them in an appendix to my paper, and I will let you know if they develop into something that we might be able to adopt clinically. Best, Judith Alderman, RN, BSN-UCSF- May 25, 2014,

Hi Dr. Balcazar,

Thank you so much for the course. I found your class to be one of the most enlightening I've ever taken. You opened

my eyes up to a great deal of history and current issues that I was not previously aware of. I'm very grateful.

Wonderful class! December 9. 2013. Student: Kathryn Martinez

Thank You so much for making the class so interesting and the articles provided were very interesting and motivational for the program I want to implement in the work place. The course provided me a very good incentive to "make change" for the homeless Hispanic immigrant with TB. December 9, 2013.

Student: Rebecca Sanchez.

Dear Dr. Balcazar, I've enjoyed your class so much this semester, and I've appreciated that you took the time to give us your personal feedback. I know you are a busy person with many responsibilities. It was also very nice of you to make it possible for us to work ahead here at the end of the semester. I hope I'll have the chance to meet you in person someday and perhaps to have another class or opportunity to learn with you. Thank you again for a great class and for the work you do for justice and understanding in our state/world. November 28, 2015. Student: Tatjana Walker.
