This course is designed to train students to conduct epidemiologic research of the highest quality. Through a combination of video-conferencing, live lectures and in-class question/answer discussion sessions, students will learn how to evaluate research conducted by others and how to apply epidemiologic principles to health-related specialties, including clinical medicine and health services. The course will provide students with an introduction to basic and intermediate epidemiologic methods to build the foundation for further work in epidemiology, either as practicing epidemiologists or as sophisticated users of epidemiologic information.
