About Course

Epidemiology is a unique science – it offers powerful tools to quantify the degree to which risk factors and humanitarian interventions affect population health in a crisis. Indeed, epidemiology saves lives and improves global, long-term health.

But this has not always been a popular field. However, it is getting more attention now because of the current health crisis that is going on. In this course, I’ll be introducing you to some basic concepts and principles that make epidemiology such a versatile and flexible field, especially in the health sciences.

Upon enrollment in the course, all materials such as lecture videos, practice quizzes will always be available should you wish to go back to the material to study and review. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion, which you can use to boost your resume, curriculum vitae.
