    •        Demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts in the discipline of epidemiology;

    •        Apply epidemiological principles to surveillance and disease control within animal and human populations;

    •        Communicate effectively with researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds;

    •        Select an appropriate study design when confronted with an epidemiological investigation;

    •        Question and develop a detailed study protocol capable of answering a given research question;

    •        analyze and interpret epidemiological data derived from cross-sectional, case-control  and follow-up studies ;propose appropriate solutions and mitigatory measures to control epidemic conditions
