MSCR 530 Course Description:

MSCR 530 is a 3-credit required course in Emory’s Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) Program. Most students in the MSCR program are clinician scientists. The content of MSCR 530 focuses on epidemiologic methods, including the determinants and distributions of health outcomes in human population with an emphasis on hypothesis formulation; causal inference; experimental vs. observational research; measurement; detection of interaction; study design (e.g. cohort, cross-sectional, case-control); evaluation of the sources and direction of bias; control of confounding factors; random error; and epidemiology in clinical settings (screening, diagnosis, and therapy). The primary goals of the course are to 1) provide a working knowledge of the fundamentals of epidemiologic methods, 2) provide a foundation for more advanced study of epidemiologic and analytic methods, and 3) to develop the type of critical thinking to make epidemiology fundamentals meaningful in clinical research.
