PHSC523 - Introduction to Pharmacoepidemiology
Course ID
040032
Course Description
Pharmacoepidemiology is a public health discipline that relies on nonexperimental
(epidemiologic) methods to assess wanted and unwanted drug effects to support decision-makers in the absence of specific evidence from experimental studies (i.e., randomized controlled trials). This course is required for graduate students in the Health Pharmaceutical Outcome (HPO) Program in the College of Pharmacy, and is an elective for graduate students in the College of Public Health. The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the field of pharmacoepidemiology, which uses epidemiologic methods to examine the benefits or risk of medications in the population. This course will prepare students to both interpret, critique, in writing and through presentations, studies from the pharmacoepidemiology literature. Students will also have opportunities to work on ongoing pharmacoepidemiology research projects.
