A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Principles and concepts of epidemiology

Epidemiology is the science that studies the distribution and determinants of health-related states in specified populations, and applies this knowledge to control health problems. Mastering its core concepts—population, disease, incidence, prevalence, risk, and measures of association—enables students to design, interpret, and evaluate public health research, a key competency for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
