Communicable diseases are illnesses that can be transmitted from person to person or animal to person. Non communicable diseases (NCDs) including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease, are responsible for considerable morbidity and premature adult mortality globally. This course envisions creating public health tools to help physicians implement effective disease prevention and control programs to address their risk factors. The objective is to train students in the interdisciplinary approaches to diseases prevention, treatment and care. The course will also expose participants to key theoretical and empirical knowledge in diseases’ research from a range of disciplines, including epidemiology, economics and health systems in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, surrounding regions and internationally.
