This course is designed to give you an integrated introduction to epidemiology and biostatistics. These two disciplines are closely related and together they provide public health workers with the skills needed to evaluate threats to the evidence they and others have collected as well as how to design interventions to help improve public health. We will be working in a hands-on way to learn to use the tools of epidemiology and biostatistics to assess threats to evidence, design interventions, and assemble the tools from across the public health curriculum by designing a public health program.
