Description:

Epidemiology is considered a basic science of public health. Epidemiology is a quantitative discipline and a tool for public health action to promote and protect the public's health. Epidemiologists respond to emergent events, be they newly emerging infections, natural disasters, or terrorism, and study public health problems, such as unintentional injuries, environmental exposures, cardiovascular disease, obesity, tobacco use, and violence domestically and internationally. Epidemiologic methods are used increasingly in other fields such as traditional clinical medicine, healthcare administration, nursing, dentistry, and occupational medicine. This course covers the basic principles and methods of epidemiologic investigation including describing the patterns of illness in populations and research designs for investigating the etiology of disease.
