About The program

How we work

We offer top-of-the-line online courses in epidemiology and health data analysis. 

Each course can be taken as a free asynchronous MOOC or as part of a small guided cohort.

We also work with institutions (companies, NGOs, ministries of health) to deliver bespoke, targeted training sessions. 

Our courses

Between 2022 and 2023, we will launch 9 courses under two broad themes:

Programming & Statistics

  • Introduction to Data Analysis with R
  • Further Data Analysis with R
  • Practical Statistics for Epidemiology using R
  • Using the EpiGraphHub Tool Suite

Epidemiology

  • Introduction to Epidemiology
  • Epidemiological Study Design
  • The Epi Research Process: from Questions to Applications
  • Epidemic Reporting with R
  • Introduction to Outbreak Analytics with R

Immersive online learning

Our learning platform brings together the best modern tools and practices for digital pedagogy and online community-building. The platform includes:

  • Engaging videos and text tutorials that are accessible on desktop and mobile devices
  • Authentic, project-based assignments that mirror the tasks epidemiologists encounter in the field
  • User progress tracking with placement tests, rigorous assessments, and accredited certificates
  • Connection to EpiGraphHub, our data warehousing and analysis platform

A learning community

Members can form private groups and engage in forums with other students to share strategies, roadblocks and successes.

The platform supports:

  • Learner-created and moderated groups
  • Friend connections and private messaging
  • An integrated news feed
