On Teaching Advanced Epidemiologic Methods

Author: Lydia Feinstein

Challenge

Advanced pharmacoepidemiology methods are increasingly required in practice but are rarely taught systematically, creating a gap between methods development and workforce capability.

Solution

Target RWE researchers presented an oral session on teaching advanced epidemiologic methods, sharing pedagogical approaches for communicating complex causal inference and methods topics to both academic trainees and applied research audiences.

Impact

Contributing to methods education builds Target RWE's scientific reputation in the academic epidemiology community and reinforces the company's position as a thought leader bridging methods development and applied practice.
