PMO 611 Classic Studies In Epidemiology
Students will analyze the original articles in the medical literature that formed the basis for current practices in epidemiology. Focus will be on the conceptual and methodologic advances in the field. Articles will be selected for discussion based on their quality, originality and, above all, on their influence on the field of epidemiology. Definitions of classic studies vary, but we will concentrate on those which changed the way epidemiologic studies are conducted and the way that epidemiologists think.
