“I think [this course] is an amazing opportunity for absolutely everybody! I bought [it] for my fiancé as he is always asking a lot of questions, the current pandemic enhanced his interest even more.”
Julie Pont, Veterinary Public Health Institute, Switzerland
"Overall the course is very clear and well laid out. The pace is good and the content is well structured. The information presented is high level enough to be consumable by non-epidemiologists yet detailed enough to provide a comprehensive overview. I like the focus on Covid at times as it is a relevant infection that the whole world can understand with the ongoing pandemic. I feel that coming out of watching this content it makes me want to learn more. The information around topics like epidemic curves is also extremely interesting with respect to the ongoing pandemic.
I honestly feel that everyone should consume this information to raise the knowledge bar and promote more detailed discussion around the current pandemic."
Christopher Brown
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.
