Summer Programs In Epidemiology At-A-Glance

Each year we provide a short recap of summer programs of interest to epidemiologists and other public health professionals. For 2018 we report on 19 different programs available in multiple different locations in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. These programs emphasize many different topics including public health, epidemiologic methods, statistics, and global health. A new program focused on digital epidemiology is being offered in Manchester UK on how to capture and use digital data, and a relatively new program in its second year focuses on causal inference and big data.

We interviewed the organizers of the new digital epidemiology course to learn more about the details of this program. The interview with Will Dixon, Program Organizer, is published on page 7 in this issue.

This summary provides a link to each of the programs so readers can obtain additional information on those of greatest interest. Keep in mind these programs have registration deadlines.
