Best Way to Learn GIS and Disease Mapping for Epidemiology?

[pakax aikunkun]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to expand my skills in public health analytics, especially in mapping disease patterns and analyzing geographic health data. While searching online, I came across this spatial epidemiology course that focuses on spatial analysis methods, GIS tools, and studying the geographic distribution of diseases.

It seems like a great option for anyone interested in health geography or epidemiology research, but I’d like to know if a formal spatial epidemiology course actually provides practical skills that can be applied to real datasets or public health investigations. Has anyone here taken something similar or used these techniques professionally?
