Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Examine how the epidemiology of HIV/TB/malaria and challenges in the management of these diseases impact the effectiveness of control strategies.
Analyze how the unique features of vector borne diseases and parameters of climate change impact control strategies.
Evaluate the historical and current impacts of immunizations on the epidemiology of vaccine preventable diseases.
Analyze the historical factors and current drivers of vaccine hesitancy and evaluate potential strategies to manage this public health challenge.
Debate the concept that disparities in resources are the primary driver of the epidemiology of Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Differentiate the roles of animals in the primary patterns of “zoonotic diseases” transmission between humans and animals.
Compare and contrast the different communicable disease surveillance methodologies.
Explain the characteristics of pathogens that are needed to make them bioterrorism weapons.
Evaluate the factors that have led to the rise of antimicrobial resistance and the role of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control techniques for prevention.
Explain how the following communicable disease transmission patterns differ from one another: “endemic,” “epidemic,” “pandemic,” and “outbreak.”
Defend the role of one of the following in the origins of emerging and novel pathogens: pathogen evolution; human behavior; inadequate public health infrastructure; or, ecological factors.
