Epidemiology is a course for students interested in understanding the mathematics of disease spread and determinants of disease distribution, etiology, and transmission through a research-focused lens.

Course objectives:

• Introduce students to epidemics, diseases, and biostatistics, with a special focus on their application to the COVID-19 pandemic

• Develop critical thinking skills in students through student-led investigations and problem-based learning of epidemiological theory

• Learn how to carry out outbreak investigations and mathematically analyze epidemiological data from quantitative studies

• Analyze, resolve, and propose policy for real-life epidemics and disease scenarios!

Course highlights:

• Optional office hours with the instructors before class.

• An innovative, student-led social impact project that allows students to apply their knowledge of epidemiology to the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Personalized feedback and custom-made course materials from an ISEF Grand Prize Awardee and AIME qualifier!
