European Course in Tropical Epidemiology
----------------------------------------
3-14 September, 2001
Basel, Switzerland
The European Course in Tropical Epidemiology (ECTE) is a collabora-
tive venture among various European institutes of tropical medicine
and is held annually in a different location.
This is an intensive introductory course in epidemiology and is in-
tended for physicians, nurses, health program managers, health admin-
istrators and other persons with a professional interest in health in
tropical countries. The course provides participants with basic
skills in the epidemiological assessment of health problems and ser-
vice priorities and in the planning of field studies. Emphasis will
be on the methodology and practical application of epidemiological
tools in developing countries, the interpretation of data and on the
reporting of field studies.
This course is appropriate for those with no formal training in epi-
demiology or statistics. However, the course is intensive and appli-
cants should have a good command of English. A certificate of atten-
dance is awarded to those completing the course.
