Tutorial in Epidemiologic Research

This is a tutorial given by each student’s MSCE mentor. The mentor and student meet regularly, usually weekly. Topics include discussion and review of epidemiologic concepts and principles, guided readings in the epidemiology of a specific health area, and the development of the research protocol. Credit for this course is awarded upon completion of a research project protocol, the one to be used to fulfill the MSCE thesis requirement, which must be approved by the student’s mentor. Evaluation is based on the grade received for the protocol.
