Course content
The discipline highlights the system of skills on the basics of studying the causes, conditions and mechanisms of the formation of diseases in the population. The discipline teaches to analyze the features of the distribution of epidemics by territory, among different population groups and over time. It highlights issues in the use of data to develop means of preventing the spread of diseases. It teaches to make recommendations for the prevention and control of this disease, to form a forecast of the spread of the disease under study. The discipline is designed to generalize the idea of current and forecast future trends and directions of fundamental scientific research in the epidemiology of infections for future professional orientation.
