This is the fourth version of this text. The book provides suggestions for what a course in general epidemiology or a course in a specific field of epidemiology should include. The book is written by experienced teachers in epidemiology. The chapters in this book provide advice on a teaching curriculum that works.

The most important aspect of teaching at the university level is, of course, that the teachers know what they are talking about.
