FMED 740 EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA RESEARCH CAPSTONE PROJECT
Well-designed epidemiological data research in the field of forensic medicine is essential to identify risk factors of certain deaths, which in turn produces valuable information useful in public health and public safety. This course is almost a year-long sequence that starts in the spring and ends in the summer. Students learn how to design and conduct epidemiological data analysis and research. Each student is required to develop a formal research proposal, conduct one research project under supervision of a faculty member, complete a publishable paper, and to present his or her paper to the class and faculty panel.
