Foundations in Modern Epidemiologic Methods

Catalog description

The overall objective of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation in epidemiologic research methods. This is the first of a three- or four-course sequence in epidemiological methods aimed at students who expect to eventually conduct their own epidemiological research. The course is designed for students enrolled in a PhD program in the School of Public Health, or who are completing the MPH epidemiology concentration. There will be a strong quantitative focus in this course, and the typical student will also have some introductory knowledge of epidemiology. PHP 2507 or 2510 should be taken concurrently. Undergraduate students, fifth year MPH students, or graduate students not in a public health program may request instructor permission (override) through CAB from the instructor.
