Our course has been taught since 1990 by leading researchers in infectious disease epidemiology, who provide a thorough, but accessible and demystifying introduction to the essential elements of modelling and an update of the most practically-relevant aspects of this fast-moving field. The course is revised every year to reflect the most recent developments in the field. Diseases covered include COVID-19, avian influenza, SARS, HIV, TB, Influenza A (H1N1), Ebola, malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Past participants have included hospital clinicians, public health executives, health economists, veterinary researchers, biologists and mathematicians who have come from 42 countries.
