Your initial response to each Discussion question should be a minimum of 200 words.

Discussion Question #1

Please consider the six course outcomes, which are tasks that you had the opportunity to complete during this course. For convenience, these are listed below. In this final discussion, describe your successes and challenges for each of these outcomes. Also, based on this unit’s reading assignment, describe how two of these outcomes can be useful within the scope of epidemiology. Please briefly review Chapters 6-10 from the Epidemiology text (Bonita, R., Beaglehole, R., Kjellström, T.) to introduce the scope of epidemiology in health science. Pay particular attention to the key messages and introduction for each chapter. I have attached the reading material for help with assignment.
