Enhance your competence at work, advance your career or simply improve your general knowledge.
We hope you’ll enjoy our self-study courses.
This course will illustrate epidemiological concepts that we are exposed to in everyday life, and help you interpret these concepts for your own understanding of current events related to diseases in animals and people.
The course consists of seven modules that are based on the most relevant and frequently occurring examples of public health and veterinary public health diseases. Real-life examples will be used to illustrate and explain theoretical concepts of epidemiology.
The format includes lecture slides with voiceover audio, video sequences, excel sheets, and webpages with self-assessment quizzes.
Certificates of completion will be available for download for the successfully completed course.
This course is framed in and embraces the One Health concept approaching diseases in animals and in people in equal measure: for every example in human health used to illustrate an epidemiological concept, an example in animal health is used.
Participants are able to draw parallels between human and animal diseases recognizing how epidemiology for animals is very much the same as epidemiology for people.
For example, an epidemiological task force on SARS-CoV-2 requires an understanding of how the virus behaves among animals as well as how the disease behaves among people in order to control it.
More courses will be added soon.
