SYLLABUS

STUDY SPECIALIZATION IN VETERINARY EPIDEMIOLOGY AT U.D.C.A!

Veterinary epidemiology is oriented towards the study of the frequency and distribution of health events of animal origin and their relationship with humans. It uses statistical tools and integrates Public Health and Animal Health, among others, in order to analyse and correlate the health status of populations of different species (including humans), quantify the risk of these events and generate prevention and control measures to minimise their impact.

GRADUATE PROFILE

The Specialist in Veterinary Epidemiology will be able to apply epidemiological principles and methods in the critical analysis and understanding of the health-disease process in animal populations, by means of correlation studies between environmental risk factors and the occurrence of human and animal health events, in order to generate prevention, surveillance and control strategies in exposed populations and thus contribute to the solution of problems in Animal Health and Public Health in the regions.
