About this Class

In partnership with the NIH Clinical Center's Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology Service (BCES), the NIH Library is offering a review of core concepts in epidemiology. This session will cover the principles of epidemiology, key concepts and terms, brief review of outbreak investigations and study designs, and commonly used statistics in epidemiology (e.g., morbidity and mortality rates; incidence and prevalence; relative risk; odds ratio; sensitivity and specificity). The instructor will present a set of exercises to work through during the lesson (a calculator will be needed).
