Teaching Epidemiology

Reviews / Votes

This is an extremely useful book. It covers the appropriate mix of methodology and specific topics, and teachers at all levels will find plenty of material to help them to prepare or revise their courses or teaching sessions. European Journal of Public Health, Vol 14, No 2 The only book that tries to teach 'how to teach' epidemiology ... the great strength of this book is its breadth ... The authors are to be congratulated on bringing together this invaluable volume, which synthesizes the vast 'teacher years' of many of our leading epidemiologists. International Journal of Epidemiology The challenge for the teacher ... is to deliver a comprehensive course that meets professional expectations. This is the book for that teacher. Journal of Public Health Medicine The new edition of Teaching Epidemiology ... is a completely different type of book, more a philosophy of teaching than a resource book. American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol 156, No 2 New teachers in the field of epidemiology, those teaching basic courses for undergraduates and those teaching more advanced courses for postgraduate students, will find this book very useful. CAB Abstracts From reviews of the previous edition: 'Experience teaches...this is not an epidemiology textbook but is a guide for less experienced teachers written by more experienced colleagues.' British Medical Journal ' I found it particularly useful for evaluating my undergraduate epidemiology course. I would recommend the book and I shall certainly have it to hand as I prepare next year's courses.' International Journal of Epidemiology
