Intensive short course
During this 3-day short course, participants will develop a solid foundation of applied principles and methods of epidemiology; use these to evaluate relevant clinical and public health questions; and refine their ability to critically analyze the epidemiologic, clinical, and public health literature. Special topics include exploring confounding and effect modification in context, the use of diagrams to understand confounding and bias, and a seminar on how to serve as a journal reviewer. The format will include lectures, group exercises, and seminars.
