OPT-7408 Public Health Optometry and Research Methods
Public health professionals care for populations while individual health care providers, including primary care optometrists, care for individual patients. Primary care optometrists also practice within the population based public health community. This course introduces the student to the core principles in public health: epidemiology, epidemics, screening, public health organizational structure, and public health law. The student will also learn skills to evaluate observational and experimental studies by study design and biostatistics.
