Enhance your public health expertise with our 2-Day Training Course in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. This intensive program is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in the core concepts and tools essential for understanding and applying epidemiology in practice. Over two days, you will explore the evolution of epidemiology, learn to measure disease frequency and associations, and gain practical insights into study designs. Key statistical concepts will be introduced, including measures of central tendency, dispersion, and significance testing, with a focus on their application in public health decision-making. Through interactive exercises, you’ll practice data summarization, visualization, and analysis, culminating in hands-on guidance for planning a research project. By the end of the training, you will be equipped with the skills to interpret health data, evaluate interventions, and produce meaningful reports that support evidence-based public health action.
