Course Information

Description

This course focuses on the Environment, work and respiratory disease: evaluation and control/ sources of disparities in exposures and outcomes. Physician clinician-scientists and epidemiologists review up-to-date studies of environmental and occupational influences on asthma, COPD, viral respiratory infections (focusing on COVID19 and influenza), occupational lung disease, tuberculosis, lung cancer and sleep-disordered breathing. With an international perspective we evaluate environmental and occupational contributions to disparities in respiratory diseases. We share complementary clinical, pathologic, physiologic as well as epidemiologic methods for assessing respiratory outcomes. We critically discuss complementary study designs to document disease prevalence and incidence, and to assess the efficacy of control strategies to reduce exposures, disease and disparities in disease. if you are interested in learning more about the course, please view Harvard’s Syllabus Explorer tool (https://syllabus.harvard.edu/) to view last year’s syllabus

Course Prerequisites: ID201 or ID200 or EPI201 or EPI208 or EPI505 or ID538 or PHS2000A (all courses may be taken concurrently).
