A quick note for the community: there will be no RFC session this week.

We’ll be back next week for the grand finale! Session 4: Applications, Interpretation and Ethics in Public Health bringing everything together, from linking disease burden to health services, to outbreak detection, to the ethics of working with spatial data.

In the meantime, this is a great chance to catch up. The materials and quiz for earlier modules are on the eLearning platform: https://afredac.net/courses/introduction-to-spatial-epidemiology-for-health-researchers/
