New Pages



Updated Pages


As of September 2, 2000 there is now a standard header with a navigation bar on all 151 pages of this Web site (whew!).

All statistics have been updated on the Site Map Index Pages, and the Web Site Statistics Page. This is done monthly, usually at the beginning of each month.


Pages That Are Continuously Updated


  • Non-U.S. colleges - Listing of all institutions of higher learning that have visited.
  • Public Health Jobs - New job postings all the time. I add links to any employer that hires people with a public health background. (By the way, I don't get anything for this but the satisfaction that I am providing a useful service) Okay, on September 6th - I reorganized the entire site. Now they are grouped under Public Health Specialty instead of one long alphabetical listing. This site has a link on Slippery Rock University's Community Health Jobs Page!!
  • Site Map Index - Every new page can be found under a major category
  • U.S. colleges - Listing of all the educational institutions that have visited.

And, this page, of course.


Outdated Pages


As of October 1, 2000, I will no longer be maintaining the Public Health Calendar of Events Page - which lists professional meetings. It is being replaced with the Public Health Continuing Education Opportunities Page.

  • Healthcare Quality A spin-off from my Information Quality Web page. It looks like the trend to looking at the quality of healthcare is taking on a more information-based twist.

  • Terms of Use & Privacy Policy - Even though this is a personal Web site, and I really don't have to have such documents, I thought it would be good practice to have a page that spells out simply what my thoughts are in terms of how this Web site should be used and a simple privacy policy to inform those who want to know what my stance is regarding privacy. These issues are already covered more extensively on my Quality Statement Page and the Healthy People 2010 Objective 11.4 Page for the truly interested. This page will be accessible from all the Web pages - once I get a chance to add the link on...
  • Visitors - International Universities & Colleges U - Z. I had to split the original page because it got too long. Come see how many universities and colleges there are around the world!
  • Ratings, Etc. I decided to revamp my Awards Page - which has some new awards. I moved all the rating icons to this page. Ratings are not really awards, per se, but they do reflect that the site has been reviewed to see if it meets a specific criteria set by a rating organization. For example, this Web site can be visited by your child and/or parent, which means this is a clean site.
  • U.S. Colleges & Universities U - ZI had to split the Visiting U.S. Colleges & Universities because there are now over 500 colleges listed. Thanks for visiting.
