CHSC 7310 Course Description

The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy invites researchers interested in learning to work with administrative data housed at MCHP, and interested individuals in the Ministries which have provided data to the Repository to audit a course titled Epidemiology of Health Care. The course provides an overview of health services research that relies on administrative data banks. A primary focus of the course is on using data to understand key policy issues, including physician practice patterns, how the health care system functions, and the broader determinants of health and well-being including education, challenged family situations, and poverty. The course is also offered for credit to students in the Masters and Doctoral programs in Community Health Sciences.
