Kursusindhold
The first 5 days of the course is a mixture of lectures, plenum discussions and exercises. During the following 4 weeks, participants are working with their individual projects under supervision. The project is handed in on Wednesday in the final week and examination is on Friday, i.e. the last day of the course.

The course is the second module in Veterinary Epidemiology. The aim of the course is that the participant can establish the association between hypotheses, data and suitable analyses - and carry out, present and interpret the results of such analyses on the participants own data in the form of (an outline of) a manuscript for an international journal. Specifically, the participant should be able to indentify and address potential problems in the data, such as bias and/or confounding, unwanted clustering, etc.

Målbeskrivelse
The course is the second module in Veterinary Epidemiology. The course is an advanced course in epidemiology focusing on statistical methods used in epidemiology to analyze continuous, dichotomous and count data. The course is not a statistics course. Rather, the aim of the course is to enable the participant to establish the association between hypotheses, data and suitable analyses - and to carry out, present and interpret the results of such analyses on the participants own data in the form of (an outline of) a manuscript for an international journal.
