General Information

This course in applied epidemiology has been running in the UK, first at the University of Manchester, and latterly at the University of Aberdeen, for nearly 20 years.Although the course is particularly aimed at practitioners and researchers in musculoskeletal disease, it covers concepts and methods common to all chronic disease epidemiology. At the end of the course, delegates will have a thorough grounding in the principles of study design, the collection and analysis of data in epidemiological studies, and various methodological aspects of epidemiological study, including bias, confounding, validity and reliability.

Places on the course are limited to facilitate discussion and interaction. Places are allocated strictly in the order of receipt of payment. The course features a faculty with International reputation from the UK and Australia and we strive to deliver high quality teaching and are proud of the feedback we receive. Delegates are asked to rate each lecture on a scale from 1 (low) to 5 (high). Last year we achieved average scores of 4.57 and 4.51 for usefulness of lectures and quality of presentation, respectively.
