This presentation has been
prepared by the Harvard School of Public Health Center for Public Health
Preparedness to provide an overview of epidemiology and surveillance. This
presentation is intended for use by individuals for personal education, or by
educators and trainers to present to a class of students.
The content has been
developed for public health professionals, but should prove beneficial to
hospital personnel, first line-responders, and the general public interested
in learning more about epidemiology and surveillance.
