Center for Aging and Population Health (CAPH) - Epidemiology of Aging Workshop Series
The Epidemiology of Aging Workshop Series is a hybrid of a journal club as well as a course within the Department of Epidemiology (EPIDEM 2950). This workshop is offered every Friday from 12:00-12:50pm during the fall term and 1:00pm-1:50pm during the spring term. It takes place at 130 N. Bellefield Avenue, Room 324. If you would like to attend remotely, please contact Michelle Utz-Kiley to obtain the Zoom meeting information.
The workshop schedule consists of alternating seminar/professional skills sessions.
The workshops are designed as practical professional skill development to supplement to the additional coursework for the Epidemiology of Aging trainees and students. The sessions include: presentations by the students from their research, journal article reviews, and professional skills sessions. The presentation sessions provide an opportunity for students to present and refine their interim research and data analyses by obtaining feedback from peers, faculty and mentors on their work in progress.
Journal article review sessions will provide an opportunity for students to identify and share current articles relevant to the epidemiology of aging and develop proficiency in the critical review of scientific literature.
Professional skill sessions will vary by semester and cover topics such as post-doctoral career development, grant and professional medical writing, and longitudinal data analysis techniques.
Epidemiology of Aging trainees are expected to enroll for the course (EPIDEM 2950) for a minimum of two (2) terms and attend for the duration of their training. The workshops are designed as practical professional skill development to supplement the additional coursework for Epidemiology of Aging trainees and students.
