Epidemiology is a basic science in preventive medicine that is also becoming increasingly important in clinical practice. The large number of epidemiology courses in universities illustrates the importance of the discipline in modern medicine. It is not only being taught to medical and public health students, but also to students of sociology, statistics and other disciplines. This book is designed for instructors; it points out the key elements in the teaching of modern epidemiology at different levels. It presents clear, practical information on implementing courses in epidemiology, on key methodological concepts, and on specific areas of disease- and exposure-oriented aspects of epidemiology.

The book will help you plan your own tailored teaching programme.The book is a guide to new teachers in the field at two levels; those teaching basic courses for undergraduates, and those teaching more advanced courses for students at postgraduate level.

There is also a focused chapter on the principles and practice of computer-assisted learning.

An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals (Springer Series on Epidemiology and Public Health, 1)

Today, the public worries about emerging diseases and rapid changes of the frequency of well known diseases like autism, diabetes and obesity making the word epidemic part of the general discussion. Epidemiology should therefore be a basic component of medical training, yet often it is undertaught or even neglected. Concise and readable while also rigorous and thorough, An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals goes beyond standard textbook content to ground the reader in scientific methods most relevant to the current health landscape and the evolution of evidence-based medicine―valuable keys to better understanding of disease process, effective prevention, and targeted treatment.
