One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Disease concepts and notification

Disease concepts and notification are the foundation of disease surveillance, defining what constitutes an illness, how it is identified, and the legal and ethical obligations to report it. Mastering these concepts ensures accurate case detection, timely response, and compliance with national public health laws.
