Anotace - angličtina
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution (who, when and where) and determinants of health and disease in populations. It is both a theoretical field of research to advance scientific understanding (basic science) as well as an applied field that aims to prevent and control diseases. Therefore, the course Epidemiology consist of two major parts. First, general epidemiology is taught, which includes topics, such as measures of frequency and association, design of studies, causality or bias. This is followed by teaching of infectious disease epidemiology, such as epidemiological features of COVID 19 or vaccinations. Teaching takes place during 1 week. Methods of teaching include frontal teaching, which is followed by practicing of the acquired knowledge. Students solve the given examples and situations partly together with the lecturer, partly in the form of individual as well as group work.
