health professionals from countries other than the United States and will include presentations and discussions of
epidemiologic principles, basic statistical analysis, public health surveillance, field investigations, surveys and sampling, and discussions
of the epidemiologic aspects of current major public health problems in international health. Included are small
group discussions of epidemiologic case exercises based on field investigations. Participants are encouraged to give a
short presentation reviewing some epidemiologic data from their own country.

Health Organization for epidemiologists, is included. Prerequisites include familiarity with the vocabulary and principles of
basic epidemiology or completion of CDC's "Principles of Epidemiology" home-study course (SS3030) or equivalent.
