Courses

PAED 605 - Practical Epidemiology I: From Idea to Identifying Relevant Study Cohort Data

This half-year course provides a practical approach to clinical epidemiology with a focus on the cohort study design. Students will develop a hypothesis (ideally related to their area of study) and identify cohort data to help them answer their hypothesis. Topics include developing a research question, ethical considerations, accessing cohort data, data collection (Redcap). Prerequisites: SPH 519 or equivalent which can be done concurrently in first term, or permission of the instructor.

Fall Term 2024

PAED 606 - Practical Epidemiology II: From Cohort Data to Manuscript

This half-year course provides an applied approach to clinical epidemiology with a focus on analyzing cohort data. Students will use the cohort data to take develop a manuscript from idea (ideally related to their area of study) to submission. Topics include: cohort data analysis including power and sample size calculations, and presenting the results (abstracts, posters, manuscripts). Prerequisites: SPH 519 or equivalent and PAED 605 or permission of the instructor.
