Distance learning and distance education: a personal perspective.
During 50 years of service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made important contributions to U.S. public health, particularly in the area of training, an essential CDC activity. I summarize some of CDC's experiences with distance learning and distance education, describe the need for public health education and training, and consider how distance education can fill that need.
