PMO 513 Advanced Epidemiologic Methods

This applied course is directed to MPH and PhD students wanting to expand their theoretical knowledge and to apply the concepts developed in PMO 511 and PMO 512 in the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data. The main emphasis of PMO 513 is on study designs, data analysis and the appropriate interpretation of findings. The course will include hands-on experience in the analysis and interpretation of epidemiologic data. Each week the lecture/discussion will address a topic of importance for conducting and understanding results from epidemiologic analyses, followed by a lab session where students will learn to apply the concepts discussed in the lecture to epidemiologic data. Students will use STATA for data analysis and to illustrate concepts presented during lectures.
