The course is divided into three main sections that cover the creation of effective (A) scientific posters, (B) written communications in format of a scientific manuscript or a thesis, and (C) oral presentations of an epidemiology project. This is a highly interactive student-centered and student-led course. We will work in class with materials provided primarily by the students, including student poster, manuscript/thesis and oral presentation drafts. All students will be required to give and receive constructive feedback from other peers on how to improve their written and oral communications based on what they have learned in class. Students must have their Culminating Experience Proposal Outline signed by their faculty advisor and submitted to the Program Office before the first day of class and are strongly encouraged to write as much of their Culminating Experience materials as possible during this course. ### MPH9005 Capstone I for MS Epidemiology Students (Formerly MPH1097) **Credits: 1 Offered: Fall**\ The Capstone provides the student with an opportunity to synthesize, integrate and apply the skills and\ competencies they have acquired to a public health problem.
