The European
summer program in epidemiology enters its 29th session
in 2016 and is one of the oldest programs to offer summer learning
opportunities in a beautiful setting. It takes place at a special
venue in a large park on hills outside Florence only 20 minutes
away from center city by public transportation.
The program
in Florence has retained the original three week format initiated
years ago.
The program
concept is to combine a solid basic coverage of the methodological
fundamentals of epidemiology and statistics in the first two weeks
with a view to advanced topic areas in the third week.
According to
former course director Rodolfo Saracci, the (relatively)
small audience, face-to-face' character of the Florence course is
a special asset. The third week (hence the whole course) presents
as a dynamically evolving program, he adds, and the fee of 3500
euros inclusive of three weeks full board and lodging (in a
beautiful place) in Florence, course materials etc. probably makes
EEPE the 'best buy' among summer schools. |
