In order to be a successful epidemiologist
you need to
be a very intuitive person and
you need to see patterns
that sometimes are not obvious. Maria Sanchez
Im just afraid that my imagination would get
away from me
if I was a public health nurse!

Id be seeing patterns everywhere! Ana

so
that they can develop

these enduring epidemiological understandings?
What can we do better to prepare you?

  the first class session.
