Study Epidemiology

What is Epidemiology? 

Ever wondered how the World Health Organization and other health departments make decision on vaccination campaigns, restrictions upon smoking in public places, or prohibition of air-polluting cars? These public health decisions are made through the application of Epidemiology – the study and analysis of the distribution, as well as the determinants of health outcomes and diseases in certain populations. Epidemiology is an essential subject in nursing and medical school, among other programs.

Examples of jobs directly related to Epidemiology include Survey Researcher, Epidemiological Statistician, Community Health Worker, University Professor, Clinical Research Associate, and Veterinary Epidemiologist—to name a few.

Learning Epidemiology 

To make it through the study of Epidemiology or accomplish your goal in becoming a doctor who focuses on the investigation of diseases, you’ll need a thorough understanding of the relevant medical literature as well as useful study tools such as Brainscape!

In Brainscape, you'll find thousands of classes, decks, and cards for Epidemiology. These study cards are created by students, professors, experts, and Brainscape users all over the world.

In addition to that, you can also curate your own flashcards to optimize the learning process!

Learn Faster in Brainscape 

The most significant benefit of using Brainscape is our exceptional implementation of what we call Confidence-Based Repetition (CBR). The CBR algorithm makes use of the three cognitive science processes that help us strengthen our memory: Active Recall, Metacognition, and Spaced Repetition.

Years of research have proven the effectiveness of these learning methods before, but nobody has applied these more effectively than Brainscape.  So, why not give it a shot?

Brainscape wishes you the very best with your study of Epidemiology and other subjects you may be facing. Good luck!
