EPIDEM 2950 - EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AGING WORKSHOP

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
The workshops are designed as practical professional skill development to supplement to the additional coursework for the Epidemiology of Aging trainees and students. The workshop will include sessions on: presentations by the students from their research, journal article reviews, longitudinal analyses techniques, and professional skills sessions. The presentation sessions provide an opportunity for students to present and refine their interim research and data analyses by obtaining feedback from peers, faculty and mentors on their work in progress. Journal article review sessions will provide an opportunity for students to identify and share current articles relevant to the epidemiology of aging and develop proficiency in the critical review of scientific literature. Emphasis will be placed on understanding emerging and novel methods in the field, particularly longitudinal statistical analyses techniques (e.g. handling missing data longitudinally; interpreting changes in slopes over time; joint modeling). A faculty member will help student leaders select articles (distributed before the meeting) and will work with students to encourage questions and discussion among the group. Professional skill sessions will vary by semester and cover topics such as post-doctoral career development, grant and professional medical writing, and longitudinal data analysis.
