Introduction to Epidemiology

Catalog description

In this introductory course, students will learn and apply basic tenets of epidemiology in the multiple domains of public health. We will illustrate, and practice using epidemiologic techniques to better understand, characterize, and apply the prevention and control of disease strategies in human populations. A variety of exposures and health outcomes will be used as examples in class to demonstrate the broad application of epidemiologic concepts in public health to resolve health issues in society.
