title: Public health education opportunities for physicians in Louisiana.
abstract: Various options exist for physicians and other mid-career health professionals who want additional education to upgrade their credentials in the public health arena by earning degrees or working toward certification. Potential students can fit distance learning classes into full schedules by participating in flexible curriculums that offer night courses through Internet technology. Other programs offer course material that physician-students work into their own schedules. Some traditional programs bring health professionals into the classroom on weekends or in the evening.
