The objective of this course is to introduce students to key methods and concepts in the epidemiological study and control of infectious diseases. By the end of this course, students will have a solid foundation in the distribution, transmission, and pathogenesis of major infectious diseases that affect human populations. We will discuss methods to design and evaluate public health strategies to prevent or eliminate infectious diseases, including: outbreak investigation, disease surveillance, infection control, screening, and vaccination. Student-led presentations/discussion sessions will debate recent controversies, ethical issues, and larger societal implications for the prevention and control of infectious diseases in the 21st century. The course is open to all undergraduate students who have successfully completed PHP 0320 (Introduction to Public Health) and to graduate students who have completed or are concurrently enrolled in either PHP 2120 (Introduction to Methods in Epidemiology Research) or PHP 2150 (Foundations in Epidemiologic Research Methods).
