We invite students, faculty, and staff affiliated with UC San Diego to attend a one-day workshop to look at the big picture of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and how it fits within the Health industry. This full-day workshop will provide an overview of Esri Web and Desktop GIS (ArcGIS Pro), entirely within the context of health & human services. It will include basic mapping, the use of online and enterprise portals, platform apps, and app creation, while examining a variety of health use cases and requirement. Matt Thomas and Canserina Kurnia from Esri will co-instruct the workshop.
Computers will be provided to participants for this workshop as certain software must be installed prior to the workshop.
Registration is required, as special permissions must be provided to attendees to access needed ArcGIS resources for the workshop.
