Disease Research

Based on the readings you have completed in this course (along with your own general knowledge), select any disease that is currently receiving a lot of attention either nationally or globally. Once you make your selection, find three (3) sources of information pertaining to that particular disease. The information you find can be related to treatments, diagnoses, or even the disease itself. The point of this discussion is to conduct research on your chosen disease and briefly explain it to your online community members.

Your discussion this week will count as four (4) points:

  • Two (2) points for Content – Your initial discussion post must provide a detailed explanation about a current disease, as instructed above.
  • One (1) point each for Context – You must incorporate at least one (1) APA in-text citation and at least one (1) reference for this discussion.

At least one of your sources must be a journal article from the SPC online library.
