The course takes a hands-on approach to the study of  Infectious Disease Ecology, highlighting its connection to One Health principles and the responses of socioecological systems to global change. It does so by providing students with an engaged field epidemiology experience in a tropical setting using the scenario (simulated) of an outbreak of a newly emerged zoonotic infectious disease. Students are first-hand practitioners in the front-line of a “Hot Zone” and work shoulder-to-shoulder with public health practitioners and medical fellows (post-resident MD infectious disease specialists) and engage multiple local stakeholders. By the end of the course students will have a deep understanding of responding to an outbreak including comfort in setting up a field lab and performing a field investigation similar to those conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. This intensive summer course offers a thorough overview of epidemiological principles and practices as applied to public health field studies, combining lectures, case studies, and hands-on training in designing, conducting, and publishing epidemiological field investigations.
