Easy enough to ask, but the answers are becoming increasingly complicated. Today,
as the public worries about emerging diseases and the word epidemic is part of the
general discussion, epidemiology should be a basic component of medical training,
yet often it is undertaught or even neglected. Concise and readable while also rigorous
and thorough, An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionalsgoes beyond
standard textbook content to ground the reader in scientific methods most relevant
to the current health landscape and the evolution of evidence-based medicine--valuable
keys to better understanding of disease process, effective prevention, and targeted
treatment
