*31st Annual Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics*
*****Johns**** Hopkins Bloomberg School**** of Public Health*
*****Baltimore**** MD, USA**** - **June 10 -28, 2013*****
Website: http://bit.ly/10Owi42 ****
The Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics offers
short, intensive courses in epidemiology and biostatistics intended to
develop an understanding of the principles, methodologic strategies and
practical aspects of epidemiological research. ****
**· **Create your own program of study****
**· **Choose from 45 courses****
** **
The Summer Institute schedule offers courses that meet for three weeks, two
weeks or one week as well as a weekend course.****
** **
In addition to offering basic and advanced courses on epidemiologic and
biostatistical concepts and methods that can stand alone, the curriculum
allows students combinations of courses that either expand their breadth of
knowledge or enable them to delve more deeply into a specialized topic area
of their choice. Such topic areas include observational and experimental
study designs, multiple facets of genetic epidemiology, and statistical
analysis techniques.****
*CURRICULUM*
*Epidemiologic Methods*
The methods series of courses aim at exposing students to the concepts,
methodologic strategies, and practical aspects of epidemiology. This group
of courses includes lectures and laboratory discussions related to
observational (case-control and cohort) and experimental (clinical trials)
study designs used by epidemiologists to conduct research on risk factors,
and on therapeutic and preventive interventions.
The courses emphasize not only the theoretical underpinnings of the
different epidemiologic investigation designs, but also their practical
applications. The two introductory courses - Principles of Epidemiology and
Observational Epidemiology - cover the main issues that represent the
foundations of epidemiology, including approaches to investigate epidemics,
natural history of disease, principles of screening, basic study designs,
interaction and threats to causal inference (confounding and bias).
The methods, inferential aspects, and applications specific to
observational and experimental designs are discussed in greater detail in
the courses, Applications of the Case Control Method and Methods and
Applications of Cohort Studies.
Finally, two one-week courses - Conducting Epidemiologic Research and New
Perspectives on Management of Epidemiologic Studies - deal with the
practical aspects of study conduct, such as quality assurance and quality
control, and management of multi-center studies.****
*Advanced Biostatistics Methods* ****
This set of courses is intended for persons with rudimentary understanding
of statistical reasoning and methods who seek to further there ability to
read the scientific literature and conduct statistical analysis. The Data
Analysis Workshops I and II are highly interactive, problem-solving
experiences in which participants work with course faculty to conduct a
range of statistical analyses of important public health data sets. The
pair of courses Regression Analysis and Regression Lab will introduce
course participants to the main ideas of linear, logistic and survival
regression models and then assist them to conduct illustrative data
analyses.
The course Survival Analysis is a more advanced treatment of the methods
for analysis of clinical trial and cohort study time-to-event data.
Lectures and data analyses comprise the learning experience. Multi-level
Models will give an overview of hierarchical models for the study of the
interaction of risk factors from many levels: societal, community,
neighborhood, family and personal. This course will comprise lectures and
discussions and some data analysis by participants.****
** **
*Clinical Research* ****
Offer a series of courses for those seeking an in-depth yet rapid
introduction to the methods of quantitative clinical research. Course
offerings relevant to clinical research include Evidence-based Decisions,
Comparative Effectiveness Research: Outcome Measurement and
Pharmacoepidemiology, focusing, respectively, on how to use data in
decision making, and on research strategies to evaluate therapeutic agents.
****
*Genetics *****
The Summer Institute offers a sequence of genetics related courses, Family
Based Genetic Epidemiology, Molecular Biology for Genetic Epidemiology,
Gene Expression Data Analysis, and Genetic Epidemiology in Populations.
These genetics mini-courses can be taken in a number of combinations,
depending on the student’s interests and background. ****
For those with little background in genetics, “*Molecular Biology for
Genetic Epidemiology*” would provide sufficient understanding of genetic
terms and molecular mechanisms to proceed on to either of the other
courses. Students interested in incorporating genetic information (data and
hypotheses) into epidemiologic studies might wish to take the “Genetic
Epidemiology in Populations” course, as that allows tests of genetic models
using classic epidemiologic study designs. ****
For students interested in learning more about a variety of genetic models
and hypotheses, the “Family Based Genetic Epidemiology” course might be
more appropriate. For those with a sound basic knowledge of molecular
aspects of genetics, these two latter analytical courses would provide a
full introduction to the field of genetic epidemiology.****
