QBS 131 Foundations of Epidemiology II: Theory and Methods

This graduate-level course is the second in a two-part sequence. The two courses are designed to teach the underlying theory of epidemiologic study designs and analysis and prepare students for conduct of epidemiologic research. Building off of concepts covered in Foundations of Epidemiology I, students develop an in-depth understanding of advanced concepts related to confounding, interpreting biomedical primary literature, and epidemiological study design. Concepts related to outbreak investigation, evaluation of screening tests, and assessment of the effects of policies on health are also covered.
