Postgraduate Certificate in Risk Analysis in Health and Food Safety
Postgraduate Certificate in Risk Analysis in Health and Food Safety
The Royal Veterinary College and EpiX Analytics
(Now open for registration)
Dear Colleagues,
We
are pleased to announce that The Royal Veterinary College and EpiX
Analytics are now offering a Postgraduate Certificate in Risk Analysis
in Health and Food Safety, starting in March 2013. This programme is
among the first recognized qualifications in Risk Analysis in Health and
Food Safety and its successful completion will lead to the award of a
Postgraduate Certificate by the University of London.
The
program aims at providing the skills for cutting-edge and in-depth
practice in quantitative risk analysis in health and food safety and
builds on previously successful training programs delivered by the Veterinary Epidemiology & Public Health Group of the Royal Veterinary College (FAO Reference Centre in Veterinary Epidemiology) and EpiX Analytics, a leading risk analysis consultancy.
The
Postgraduate Certificate is designed to accommodate full-time working
professionals and graduate students and offers candidates the
opportunity to develop hands-on work skills and tailor their studies to
their own professional and development needs.
For further information, please visit: www.rvc.ac.uk/rahfs or www.epixanalytics.com/RAHFS.

Advanced Epi Course in Copenhagen
Dear All,
I would like to announce the PhD course:
Epidemiological
analysis of clustered data - with emphasis on veterinary and animal science
applications
Which is being held at University of
Copenhagen, January 7-11, 2013.
This course is designed to enable the
participant to:
1) Determine if clustering is present in
their data.
2) Understand why clustering might be a
problem and understand its consequences on the analysis of either continuous or
discrete data.
3) Understand the uses, advantages and
limitations of simpler methods to deal with clustering.
4) Use the statistical software R to
characterize and analyse clustered data with a hierarchical and/or longitudinal
structure.
5) Summarize and present the results and
conclusions in the format of a scientific paper
This is an advanced course in veterinary
epidemiology. The course covers the clustering which most often arises in
veterinary and animal science due to the structure of animals being housed
together on farms (possibly within pens, within sections). The focus is on
understanding the consequences first, and secondly being able to analyse data
and present results while addressing the clustering, particularly through the
use of linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models in R.
The course uses the textbook:
Dohoo, Martin & Stryhn (2009)
Veterinary Epidemiologic Research, 2nd Edition.
and on-line resources and notes in R.
The course is constructed in three
modules:
1) 2-4 January 2013: Warm Up days - Prior
to the campus week, the participant have the possibility to refresh the necessary
skills in R (while revising the basic concepts of simpler analysis, i.e.
logistic regression and analysis of variance). This is done using UCPH’s
eLearning environment Absalon
2) 7-11 January 2013: Campus week - A
mixture of lectures, discussion and exercises. All days from 9-16.
3) 14 January - 8 February 2013: Project
work - The participant must do an analysis (preferably on their own data) and
present the results outlined as a scientific paper. This work is done at home -
individual supervision is provided on-face or through SKYPE.
The course is free for PhD students under
the Danish Open Market, but for other there is a course fee.
For registration and further information:
The deadline for application is December
17th, 2012.

NOSOVE workshop January 2013 - registration deadline approaching
Dear NOSOVE-members and others who might be interested.
The next NOSOVE-meeting and course will be held in Copenhagen January 14-17, 2013.
It will contain an introduction to the software R and advanced methods for prevalence estimation using R combined with a workshop on current and future basic and post-graduate epi-education in the Nordic countries. It is possible to sign up just for parts of the programme.
There are only few seats left, so if you want to join now is the time to sign up.
