HSE 271 HSE Epidemiology Journal Club
This course emphasizes critical evaluation of epidemiological studies and the development of effective presentation skills. Students will gain exposure to a breadth of epidemiological methodologies while examining classical and current epidemiological studies within public health and biomedical research. Class will meet weekly. Each week, all students will read one peer-reviewed, published study and an additional article or other paper for supplemental reading. One student will present on the published study, and we will all discuss the study as well as the relevance of the additional reading. Discussion will include an assessment of study components as related to study design, statistical analyses, inference and interpretation, bias, generalizability, and implications. Students will be asked to specifically discuss components of the study (e.g., to restate what one figure or table presents).
