Following the introductory epidemiology course, this advanced course is designed to expand students’ scientific understandings of modern epidemiology, and emphasizes the practices of epidemiologic data analysis and interpretation. This course covers: advanced concepts in epidemiologic causal inference, advanced study designs, epidemiologic data analysis and interpretations of different study designs. Objectives After successful completion, students are expected to - Apply DAG to analyze complex epidemiologic topics - Use appropriate study design to address epidemiology research questions - Critically and appropriately choose study design and analytical strategies - Understand the sciences and arts of model building in epidemiology - Develop an analytical plan for secondary data analysis project (proposal), and conduct it - Correctly present and interpret epidemiologic results
To take this course, course prerequisite is MDPH30038 or MDPH30041.
