The "Principles of Epidemiology" course provides a comprehensive understanding of how diseases spread and affect populations. Learners will explore the basic concepts of epidemiology and its critical role in public health. They will learn how to analyze disease patterns by studying variations over time, place, and among different groups of people. The course covers methods to measure how often diseases occur and the risks associated with them. Students will also gain skills in designing studies to investigate health issues and learn to respond to epidemics and outbreaks. By the end of the course, learners will be able to apply epidemiological principles to prevent and control diseases, ultimately improving public health outcomes.
