Upcoming Training Events

 

Basic Epidemiological Concepts (EPI1)
Starts May 17, 2010, Public Health Agency of Canada

 

Click here to register for the May course.

The goal of this module is to enhance the understanding of basic epidemiological concepts and to increase the ability to apply basic epidemiological principles in the public health work setting. The estimated time to complete this module is 25 to 30 hours. The program is FREE of charge. Anyone can apply, but we believe that people with 2 years of college or university experience will find the program at their level, in terms of English language and study skills. Several members of the Naasautit project have gained the essential public health knowledge they require for their work. PHAC's Northern Strategy and the Naasautit experience with this course is featured in this handout (pdf) presented at the 14th International Congress on Circumpolar Health (ICCH).

 

Please contact Tom Axtell if you are interested in registering for this course as part of the Skills Online pilot for people working in Northern Aboriginal communities. Participants may have access to a weekly teleconference meeting with other Northerners if there are sufficient numbers.

 

If you are curious about this program, we strongly recommend taking the 60 minute, self-guided An Introduction to Public Health in Canada module. This is a new module that is still in development, but offers learners a chance to test the waters before diving in.
