Public Health Surveillance

This course was created by the Illinois Public Health Preparedness Center and is part of the Applied Epidemiology (PH 490) course series. These courses can be taken separately and in any sequence desired. The overall PH 490 series provides an introduction to applied epidemiology. Content includes frequency measures, preparation and application of tables, graphs, and charts, public health surveillance and outbreak investigation. Case studies and a variety of practice-related exercises serve as a basis for learner participation in real world public health problem-solving simulations. The various components of these courses serve to stimulate interactions among learners and instructors around important problems and issues facing public health. The Illinois Preparedness Center requires a separate registration. Click the course title to launch to the registration page. When prompted, either login if you have an existing account with them, or register. You will then be allowed to register.
