Welcome to the Spring 2012 Epidemiology Seminar Series!
Epidemiology seminars are an essential part of graduate education. They provide students with exposure to methodological issues beyond that covered in coursework and the individual student’s area of concentration, development of the ability to articulate questions and discuss ideas with colleagues, and the opportunity to interact with faculty and guest speakers. They also give students the chance to practice presenting their own work and hone their presentation skills. Attendance is highly encouraged.
