Epidemiology & Biostatistics
Terms: Fall 2011, Winter 2012, Summer 2012
Instructors: There are no professors associated with this course for the 2011-2012 academic year.
Students exempted from any of the courses listed below must replace them with additional complementary course credits.
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to epidemiologic concepts and corresponding terms. After an introduction to the history, definition, and purposes of epidemiology, "core" concepts that are relevant in several areas of investigation (e.g., etiologic research, health care research, and community medicine practice) will be presented.
Terms: Fall 2011
Instructors: Pai, Madhukar (Fall)
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : Introduction to global population health, including causes of morbidity and mortality, surveillance systems and vital statistics, and trends over time. Overviews of epidemiology of cancer, cardiovascular, infectious, environmental, psychiatric and nutritional diseases. Fundamentals and methods for studying burden of disease in populations, and how these differ across time, space, groups.
Terms: Fall 2011
Instructors: Paradis, Gilles (Fall)
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : Concepts and methods for epidemiology at the intermediate level, including causation, measures of disease occurrence and effect, study designs, biases in epidemiologic research, interaction, and data analysis for categorical and survival data using statistical software.
Terms: Winter 2012
Instructors: Harper, Samuel (Winter)
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : This course provides the opportunity to develop skills to critically evaluate evidence presented in the biomedical and health sciences literature, based on the concepts acquired in the epidemiology introductory courses.
Terms: Winter 2012
Instructors: Sewitch, Maida; Gyorkos, Theresia; Rahme, Elham (Winter)
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : Introduction to the basic principles of statistical inference used in clinical and epidemiologic research. Topics include variability; methods of processing and describing data; sampling and sampling distributions; inferences regarding means and proportions, non-parametric methods, regression and correlation.
Terms: Fall 2011
Instructors: Atherton, Juli Kirstin (Fall)
Prerequisite (Undergraduate): A first year course in undergraduate differential and integral calculus.
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : Introduction to statistical software and data management; including basics of entering, manipulating data and elementary statistical analysis, SAS software, with reference to other packages of potential interest to students (R, Strata, SPSS).
Terms: Fall 2011
Instructors: Kaufman, Jay; Joseph, Lawrence (Fall)
Prerequisite: Enrolment in Epidemiology stream program or permission of instructor.
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : The course will review principles that can be applied to measuring a wide range of exposures, as well as outcomes. Accurate measurement is essential to the validity of epidemiological research.Topics to be covered include measurement error, and the design, analysis, and interpretation of validity and reliability studies.
Terms: Winter 2012
Instructors: McCusker, Jane (Winter)
Epidemiology & Biostatistics : Univariate and multivariate statistical techniques for continuous categorical and survival data. Topics include generalized linear models, multiple linear and logistic regression, introductory survival analysis, model selection. Maximum likelihood and Bayesean approaches will be presented.
Terms: Winter 2012
Instructors: Labbe, Aurelie; Joseph, Lawrence (Winter)
2 credits of coursework, at the 500 level or higher, chosen in consultation with the student's academic adviser or supervisor.
