Cardiovascular Epi

4.0 credits

This course is designed to provide information regarding the number one cause of mortality globally: cardiovascular disease. This information will be presented in ways that span both epidemiology, research, and prevention, while taking into account pathophysiology of the disease. Learning will occur using an online format so that students are not required to be physically present. This is so that learning and timing are flexible and dynamic. This will include students and faculty interacting online for the purpose of discussing important topics. A major goal of this course is for students to emerge with passion for the prevention of life-threatening disease, its implications, improving quality of life, and the promise of research as an important pathway to achieve them. The course will be delivered via in-person classes with online tools as well. Prerequisites: PH 103 or PM 415, Instructor permission required for Undergraduates
