Field Epidemiology Certificate
In recent years, new threats — including new strains of existing diseases — have posed risks to public health around the globe. At the same time, the field continues to face a shortage of adequately trained epidemiologists.
The online certificate in Field Epidemiology prepares working public health practitioners to confront these pressing issues. Students will learn about the core functions of outbreak investigation, surveillance systems and methods, and infectious disease epidemiology.
Students will further explore ways to deal with these threats by using the latest technology in the field.
