Course description
Clinical epidemiology is the science of using population methods to answer individual patient questions. In this course in clinical epidemiology, I will cover the design of epidemiological studies and the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data in order to answer clinical questions. A variety of study design methods including cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional study designs will be taught. The design and analysis of clinical trials are covered in-depth by other courses (e.g. PUBH 7420 and 7415) and hence are not covered here. This course is intended for MS students majoring in clinical research. If you are in the clinical research certificate program and have an MD, you can enroll in this course. If you are in the clinical research certificate program and do NOT have an MD, please contact the instructor for permission prior to enrolling. Others including those in MPH programs in the School of Public Health and other interested students should contact the instructor for permission prior to enrolling. If you have already studied advanced methods in epidemiology or biostatistics or completed Epi Methods II (PUBH 6342) or more advanced Epidemiology courses, please do not take this 1-credit course since there will be redundant material. You may be interested instead in Clinical Epidemiology II, which focuses on more clinical aspects including prognosis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
