Course Description 本課程將以世界衛生組織及美國疾病管制署提出的指導原則為主軸,介紹偵測及調查食源性疾病聚集事件及疫情爆發的方法和步驟。本課程也將帶領學生熟悉國內及全球其它國家食源性疾病調查及通報系統的架構。此外,也將簡介跨領域的基礎知識,包括:生醫技術在偵測食物中毒事件的進展、問卷設計及調查方法。

This course will be based on relevant guidelines published by WHO or US CDC, indroducing methodology and stepes for detecting and investigating a food-born disease outbreak. The course will guide students to be familiar with the framework of surveillance and reporting system for food-born disease in Taiwan and other countries. Besides that, we will also give an interdisciplinary overview of the essential concepts, including advancement of biomedical technology in detecting foodborne illness, questionnaire design and survey methods.
