This flagship recurring workshop series introduces GIS and spatial data science to public-health professionals, researchers, and students, using open-source tools and reproducible workflows. No prior GIS experience is assumed. Approach Delivered as a hands-on Quarto-based course built entirely in R, the curriculum moves from foundational concepts of spatial data science to applied analysis. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-epidemiology/ Tue, 28 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-epidemiology/ Background Epidemiological data are inherently spatial, yet spatial analysis remains underused in routine practice and training. This workshop equips epidemiologists and public-health researchers with practical spatial methods to map, explore, and analyse disease data, building on classic examples such as the John Snow cholera investigation and modern outbreak datasets. Approach The course is delivered as a Quarto website with structured sessions in R.
