Students focus on the foundational knowledge and methods in environmental health needed by doctoral students to prepare for advanced careers in environmental health including integration of multi-disciplinary approaches.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Determine the interdisciplinary scientific collaborations needed to address environmental health problems
- Evaluate and critique in depth a body of literature in environmental health in order to assess the state of knowledge, research gaps and potential future investigations
- Evaluate in detail analytic methodologies currently used in environmental health research in the context of topics covered in the course
- Analyze current problems and potential solutions in environmental health research, policy and the communication of the science to affected communities
- Work in a group to develop a grant proposal for a population based or mechanistic study to determine the human health impacts of an environmental exposure through the air, water, food or soil
- Work in a group to develop, make and defend an oral presentation of a research proposal
