Abstract
In this manuscript, we present the results of a series of workshops convened in conjunction with the 2023 Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) annual meeting. The overall objective of the workshops was to develop a set of core competencies for PhD students in epidemiology. The topics presented in the lists of competencies are organized using a framework similar to many graduate programs in epidemiology, proceeding from basic to advanced topics. Given the breadth of substantive topics in the fields of epidemiology and public health, this list of competencies focuses on methodologic topics that are relevant to all students, regardless of research interest. The final topic lists were developed based on discussions including a large and diverse group of epidemiologists with different areas of expertise. By creating this resource, we aim to facilitate training of future generations of epidemiologists.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Epidemiology is the oldest and one of the premier epidemiologic journals devoted to the publication of empirical research findings, opinion pieces, and methodological developments in the field of epidemiologic research.
It is a peer-reviewed journal aimed at both fellow epidemiologists and those who use epidemiologic data, including public health workers and clinicians.
