ReviewsDHO Health Science is an all-inclusive textbook for Health Science instructors. The information it provides will prepare students for a successful future in health care., The DHO book has been the backbone of my program for 12 years and I refer to it all the time. It is a great resource for preparing students for competitions and to help them prepare for a job interview. The DHO-Health Science textbook is my go-to resource for everything I teach in Health Science classes.
