Description:

This 5-day in-person course, comprising a mix of lectures and hands-on
practicals, is designed for students who wish to learn about strategies for
epidemiological data analyses. The course will cover framing the research
question and translating this into an appropriate study design, the
principles of statistical modelling including the choice of model and
interpreting the output, model building strategies, and key concepts of
confounding and effect modification. We will guide the learning through
real-life examples. The focus will be on analysis strategies, not the
execution of the analysis. However, the course will cover interpretation of
results from statistical models in order to consolidate students’
understanding of the models, inform their choices in analysis strategies,
and gain experience in reporting model results. No particular statistical
analysis software will be required, but practical examples will be demonstrated using software such as Stata or R.

Objectives:

• Comprendre la complexité du système des assurances sociales et identifier les enjeux.
• Connaître la réglementation relative à la santé au travail
• Bénéficier d’une approche pluridisciplinaire et orientée sur la pratique
• Construire un réseau en santé publique

Courses:

• Planification médico-sociale et séjour en EMS

Description:

Epidemiology is the branch of medical sciences that investigates the
distribution of health-related states and events in specified populations
(community, institutions [schools], city, state, country, region, continent,
worldwide). Epidemiology also includes the assessment of any intervention
applied to remediate a health problem.
In this introductive course, we will treat the following topics

• Definition, objectives and objects of modern epidemiology (i.e., types of outcomes and their determinants/exposures).
• Validity and precision of exposure and outcome
• Study designs and association measures
• Causal framework and the role of chance and bias in epi-studies
• Principles of good study design and protocol drafting
• Different concepts will be introduced using contemporary examples from exposure-oriented (nutritional, occupational and environmental epidemiology) and outcome-oriented epidemiology (i.e., communicable and non-communicable diseases and clinical epidemiology).
• To assimilate these notions, students will be stimulated to precise/redefine their original research question and hypotheses considering the study design appropriate in their chosen context.

Description:

Governments, policy-makers, public health institutions and funders require information on the causes of disease and death in the population to target available resources towards effective, high-impact public health interventions and approaches to improve survival and prevent illness. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project developed a framework and methodology for merging and assimilating, validating, analyzing and reporting health-related information on the burden of disease across countries and settings, to inform public health decision- making. GBD now provides the largest, most comprehensive estimates of risk factors, health, morbidity and mortality levels and trends globally. In this course, students will be introduced to the methods and tools used in and developed by the GBD project, to prepare them to understand and interpret the research outputs of the project, and to utilize the datasets and tools available from this project to inform their own research.
The following topics will be addressed:

• Definition and measures of disease burden in public health

• Sources of input data in GBD estimates

• Metrics and indicators reported and used by GBD

• Estimation methodology

• Accessing and using GBD datasets and reports

• Accessing and using GBD data visualization tools

Description:

Qualitative health research helps grasp behaviors and practices of patients and populations at risk, combined with the meaning health professionals and stakeholders give to their practices and actions, those both being known to underlie and influence health practices. By giving particular attention to the context of an intervention, qualitative research is particularly effective for evaluating programs and practices in the public health field. It allows to reflect on the broader health care context, with its socio- cultural and historical features.

Description:

The physical and social environment that surrounds us plays an important
part in our health and wellbeing. The geography concept of ‘place’ thus
cannot be ignored in public health. Whether investigating the level of
environmental pollution, access to recreation or health services, or the
patterns or spread of disease, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
provide the standard platform for exploring spatial attributes and
relationships between our environment and health.
This course offers an introduction to GIS and how it is used in public health
and epidemiological research, with a focus on exposure assessment. It will
introduce students to the basics including: working with and integrating
spatial and non-spatial data; geographic scale and spatial precision;
projections; geocoding; visualisation; thematic mapping; and
understanding spatial relationships. Specific skills and tools will also be
introduced in relation to methods for route analysis and for spatial linkage
of exposure, contextual and confounder information for epidemiological or
health risk assessment studies. Students will apply their new skills in a case
study based either on their own data or on available datasets for defined
topics.

This course includes plenty of practical time for hands-on data analysis in industry standard GIS from ESRI, QGIS, R (with an emphasis on ArcGIS Pro), interspersed with a mix of short lectures and demonstrations. No prior knowledge of GIS is required, though completion of pre-course work is essential preparation for this intensive course.

You will learn how to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control hazards and exposures at work that may affect workers health.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Evaluate the work environment based on identified exposures

• Develop appropriate sampling strategies
• Analyze and interpret measurement results
• Critically discuss results and draw conclusions
• Write occupational hygiene report

Description:

Public health surveillance is the ongoing and systematic collection,
analysis, and interpretation of health-related data, closely integrated
with their timely dissemination and communication to those responsible
for public health strategies and action on disease prevention and control.
Methods and tools for surveillance and population health monitoring,
initially developed for infectious diseases and outbreak control, are now
applied to other health conditions like chronic diseases, mental health or
occupational and environmental health.
With the advances in the field of data science and the growing access to
multiple types and increasing volumes of data, the field of surveillance
and health monitoring is going to adapt and evolve rapidly. This includes
moving to a wider scope of applications, for example, surveillance may
also include monitoring of risk factors associated with adverse health
events or monitoring of health care services. This also implies using new
methods for analyzing data, as well as tools for visualizing and
communicating data, depending on target publics.

Introduction:

Le CAS Droits des patients et santé publique a l’ambition de faire un état des lieux de l’ensemble des droits des patients en Suisse, sans oublier le cadre international et européen auquel ils sont intimement liés. Un exercice de jonglage législatif est proposé pour présenter l’ancrage de ces droits au niveau fédéral et cantonal. Commençant par les droits fondamentaux, le programme développe les droits des patients en tenant compte de différents critères, tels que le cycle de vie (début et fin de vie), les personnes vulnérables (incarcérées, incapables de discernement, en situation de handicap), etc. A cela s’ajoutent les grands thèmes du consentement éclairé du patient, la protection des données médicales, les responsabilités professionnelles. La réglementation des professions médicales y est également intégrée compte tenu du fait qu’un meilleur encadrement juridique des professions de la santé profite directement au respect des droits des patients.
