BIOL2620 - Selected Current Tops In Envir
Spring 2024
Drawing on "case-based teaching" with case studies selected from current literature (biomedical, public health and social
sciences), this seminar aims to help students bridge the connection between fundamentals of study design (e.g., cohort,
case-control, case-cohort, case-crossover, time-series, panels), principles in epidemiologic methods (e.g., confounding,
selection bias, measurement errors, interactions), and sophisticated data analyses/statistical modeling approaches. The
seminar will promote critical thinking among students regarding current topics in environmental epidemiology. Sessions
will include critical review of topics from the literature, student presentations, and presentations by outside speakers related
to Environmental Epidemiology. Through facilitated discussions, students are introduced to epidemiologic concepts and
methods applied to evaluation and control of the broad health consequences of human-environment interactions involving
various physical (e.g., hazardous pollutants; sunlight) and social environments (e.g., violence; policies). Selected practical
examples covering chemical, physical, biological, and social factors implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of
human diseases and public health promotion will be addressed.
