Practical Applications in Epidemiology

(3 Credits)

The goals of this advanced course in epidemiology are to (1) provide students with knowledge of advanced epidemiologic methods and (2) an opportunity to apply these methods. To achieve these goals, students will be introduced to advanced epidemiologic analytic approaches currently employed to address common challenges in epidemiologic research that extend beyond the scope of traditional methods. Next, the course will provide skills in conducting advanced epidemiologic analyses. By combining epidemiologic knowledge with advanced epidemiologic methods, students will be able to (1) determine when to use these methods in their own research; and (2) conduct and interpret these analyses themselves.
