Welcome to the Epidemiology Education Movement web site. It shares information about a grass roots effort to promote the teaching of epidemiology to middle school and high school students.
The Movement aims to provide communication venues for stakeholders, and to implement a focused strategy to monitor and increase efforts to develop curricula and train teachers, create demand, and maintain momentum. Its origin is a small group of epidemiologists and educators who believe that "education" should include understanding of epidemiology and its role as the science of public health.
The Movement has three overall goals:
|
|
|
1. To infuse epidemiology education into curricula in grades 6-12
2. To improve the scientific literacy of students
3. To increase the number of students preparing for careers in public health
You are welcome to join us.
 This project is supported in part by a
Science Education Partnership Award,
Grant Number R25RR018584, from the
National Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health.
