Teaching in 2024-2025:
EPIB 710 Epidemiologic Analysis: Fall 2025
Causal inference using potential outcomes has become a standard part of the toolkit for epidemiologic researchers. In this course students will review foundational material on potential outcomes, and then understand and implement advanced methods. The class will emphasize both conceptual understanding and implementation, including analyses of complex datasets. Time-fixed and time-varying exposures will be considered. Methods studied will vary but will include marginal structural models, structural nested models, and targeted maximum likelihood.
EPIB 703 Epidemiologic Analysis: Fall 2024
This is a required course in epidemiological study design for those in the first semester of the epidemiology doctoral course sequence. Etiological inference requires carefully planned and executed study designs in order to make valid contrasts that are free from biases and reveal causal effects of well-defined exposures. The most common of these designs include trials, observational cohort studies, and various designs with oversampling of cases that are collectively called case-control designs. Other designs will also be discussed, including surveillance and quasi-experimental studies. Key concepts are target populations, random and systematic errors, internal and external validity, and the characteristics of well-defined exposures, outcomes and effects. No statistical software will be used.
