Centre for Applied Epidemiology
Welcome!
Applied Epidemiology, defined as "the application or practice of epidemiology as used to address issues of public or animal health," has been identified as the prime focus of teaching and research at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
The WCVM's Centre for Applied Epidemiology was formed:
- to showcase applied epidemiologic research
- to promote learning opportunities here at the University of Saskatchewan.
The main goals of applied epidemiology are:
- to monitor and describe the
distribution of health-related outcomes in populations
- to study particular risk factors
for the development of a health-related outcome
- to evaluate the effectiveness or
impact of an intervention, health program or policy
- to synthesize results of
etiologic studies across disciplines to assess disease causation
- to communicate epidemiologic
findings effectively to policy makers and the public.
