for Public Health
Instructors:

Lectures
The following titles link to the Powerpoint slides for the EPID160/EPID600 lectures. The files
include verbatim speaker notes. Recorded versions for these lectures (most from fall 2002, but some recorded since then) are available
through the Blackboard course website. Most of the recordings are also available
at the North Carolina Center
for Public Health Preparedness Training Site. Links to the first three lectures can be found in this document. These lectures are made available
for your personal use, though I also provide them to instructors.
If you would like to use all or parts of these lectures in
your teaching or for other purposes, kindly obtain permission from Victor_Schoenbach@unc.edu.
Please note - the slides are on my
epidemiolog.net website, so the URL's will begin with: www.epidemiolog.net/epid160/lectures/. The lectures are being updated and re-recorded during fall 2007 - spring 2008.
