Course Introduction
About this course
The course is designed to enhance the ability of public health professionals to prevent, control, and eliminate infectious diseases. By providing a strong foundation in epidemiology and surveillance, it empowers individuals to protect the health of populations.
Epidemiology and surveillance form the data backbone of modern public health — providing the intelligence that drives outbreak detection, intervention design, and population-level health decision-making.
This course covers the principles and practical methods of infectious disease epidemiology and surveillance — covering surveillance system design, data collection, outbreak detection, and the analytical methods that turn data into action.
