Global Disease Masterclass: Communicable Diseases Epidemiology, Intervention and Prevention at Coursera Course details
- This course is all about infectious diseases. We?ve selected four disease areas ? HIV, Malaria, Emerging Infectious Diseases (Ebola and Zika), and TB ? and we will go through each in turn. We?ve selected these diseases because they span a range of different types of disease and allow us to look at important issues that relevance of other diseases too. We will look at each disease in the same way: we begin by looking at the aetiology and epidemiology of the diseases. We then show how data on this disease can be used to understand important trends and patterns. We then focus on the interventions that can be used to address that disease - typically spanning both prevention and treatment - and consider how policies have been developed to address the disease. We finish by reflecting on the whole topic area of the disease with an external expert.
