An ArcGIS tutorial series for developing essential GIS skills for health workflows If there is anything positive about a crisis, it’s that it can open our eyes to gaps and needs in our systems. Across the breadth of global health organizations, from governments to nonprofits and commercial entities, it’s clear that we need to invest in modern technology systems and in training the health workforce to take full advantage of their capabilities. In support of that need, Esri has created Health GIS Curriculum: A guide for developing essential GIS skills, a free learning program. Why learn essential Health GIS skills? GIS is a powerful and effective tool for health applications. There are many important challenges in providing health care and services – equitable access, addressing health disparities, accurately assessing the spread of disease, prioritization of resource allocation, and responding to emergencies from natural disasters to pandemics. What can I expect in the curriculum? From students studying in health-oriented fields to educators and employers, the Health GIS curriculum offers hands-on materials to begin and enhance your geospatial capacity for managing health workflows and applications. GIS will enable and empower you to understand, make decisions, share, and improve health for everyone. Each tutorial is based on health-related scenarios that solve real-world problems. Every section builds a foundation of knowledge that will support the geographic approach to solving health challenges. You can complete the entire curriculum, which is roughly the equivalent of a higher education course, or you can choose to complete a single tutorial or section -- whatever best fits your learning goals! How can I get started? Learn how you can apply geospatial thinking to health applications using the Health GIS curriculum. We highly recommend reviewing the entire site as you get started. In particular, watch the introductory video and read the section on how to use the materials. Get familiar with content format, additional resources to reinforce learning concepts in each section, and the opportunities to go further with your health GIS education. Over the next several months, additional materials will be added, so stay tuned and revisit the site often. Start exploring the Health GIS Curriculum and start building your geospatial thinking skills for GIS today!

Apply the geographic approach for climate resilience planning Why apply GIS to Climate Resilience? Climate change threatens many aspects of our lives, especially our communities and the places we care about. From intensifying heat waves, wildfires, sea level rise, and more, it is important for communities to plan for a future that includes these new realities. Location plays a vital role in understanding and building resilience to the impacts of climate change. Cultivating skills in GIS and spatial thinking empowers learners and organizations to be positive change agents through analytical skills, manage and plan for climate change, and achieve their missions to benefit their communities. What can I expect in the curriculum? From community planners to community members, the GIS for Climate Resilience Curriculum contains hands-on tutorials to enhance the geospatial capacity of anyone seeking to prepare their communities and to build and invest in climate-related hazard mitigation and resilience measures. Through the connection of maps, apps, data and people, be better equipped to make more informed policy decisions and communicate their impact to your neighbors, elected officials, and resource managers. What is the curriculum based on? Using a climate resilience planning process developed by the U.S. federal government and used globally, this curriculum will help you understand climate hazards that could harm the people and places you care about, identify mitigation priorities, and come up with workable solutions to reduce your climate-related risks using GIS. How can I get started? Whether you’re interested in learning more about the hazards you and your community are facing or want to start building or updating a climate action plan, learn how you can apply geospatial thinking to climate resilience using the GIS for Climate Resilience curriculum.
