The prerequisite for this course teaches introductory principles sufficient to interpret and critique basic published epidemiologic research. Public Health 4003 Advanced Epidemiology builds on this knowledge base by focusing on advanced principles, as well as the practice of epidemiology. Students will learn how to design their own observational or experimental epidemiologic study, and how to develop a systematic review protocol. This course will include a lab component to ensure students gain the hands-on experience needed to design epidemiologic research, and the epidemiologic field methods required to support the validity, precision, and management of data collected.
