The Nina Pham case encompasses many of the topics that we cover in this eight week class. As you become familiar with the Pham case, you will see that the topics we cover in this class do apply in real life situations. Dr. Anthony Fauci was a key figure in the Pham case. Interestingly, Dr. Fauci is still a key figure in the public health arena. He served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 - 2022. He was also the most visible health official in the government's response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Complete and submit the assignment listed below.

We will review the answers in class on 3/21/24. As you work on each Pham assignment this semester, pay special attention to my assignment comments. The assignments build on each other and your grade on the final Pham assignment considers whether you have taken all feedback into account for your final assignment.
