    About the Course

    Professional epidemiologists are often called on to investigate outbreaks and epidemics. This course serves as an introduction to the essentials
    of investigation, identifying pathogens, figuring out what's going on, reporting, and responding. You'll learn how to ask precise epidemiologic
    questions and apply epidemiologic tools to uncover the answers. You'll also learn about basic epidemic dynamics and the terrible law that cause
    them to grow, as well as the reasons why they recede and eventually go away. The course concludes with deep dives into some real outbreaks
    from Ebola, in West Africa, to the opioid epidemic in the United States.
