This four-day short course will provide training in public health
research methods for spatial and temporal analysis, particularly in the
field of Environmental Epidemiology. There is a strong focus on the use
of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The course aims to improve
participants' language and software skills to enable them to better
liaise with geographic information systems (GIS) experts, and to enhance
communication between the public health sector and GIS Practitioners.
