This course will give incoming SPHHS students an introduction to quantitative health sciences and where the knowledge in our field comes from.

The emphasis of this course will be to engage students in topics that are relevant to any career path in the SPHHS. I believe this particular seminar is an excellent topic to offer incoming freshman because of its direct applicability to real-world settings in the past, present and future.
