Other classes by John M Colford

This introductory graduate course presents principles & methods of epidemiology, including descriptive & analytic approaches to assessing the distributions of health, disease & injury in the population & factors influencing those distributions. Emphasis is on developing an understanding of concepts, rather than quantitative methods. Basic calculations are involved. Course consists of readings, critical review of epidemiology papers, brief video lectures to explain key concepts, quizzes & exams that allow students to practice applying epidemiological concepts. Students without prior coursework in epidemiology will acquire the core competencies in epidemiology expected of all MPH graduates. Course shares the same content & learning of PH 250A
