Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.
Students will learn the basics of infectious disease agents that commonly cause disease in populations including how they are transmitted and how they are studied. These skills will then be applied to help students understand how to study, control, and prevent infectious disease outbreaks. We will also discuss how social and environmental factors influence infectious disease transmission and examine the relationship between infectious and chronic disease, helping students to understand how infectious disease epidemiology fits with other specialties in epidemiology.
