Epidemiology,
The Epidemiology provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of disease distribution and determinants in populations. It focuses on understanding patterns of health and illness, methods of data collection, and interpretation of health statistics. Students will explore core concepts such as incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality, while learning how to design epidemiological studies including cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional approaches. The course emphasizes identifying risk factors, investigating outbreaks, and applying epidemiological methods to control and prevent disease. Special attention is given to public health surveillance, screening programs, and evidence-based decision-making in healthcare. Ethical considerations in data use and research are also discussed. Practical components include analyzing case studies, interpreting data sets, and applying statistical tools to real-world health problems. By the end of the course, students will gain skills to evaluate health trends, contribute to policy-making, and design interventions that improve community and global health outcomes. المعهد الفني الصحي
