EPI Fundamental Resources

Mentorship and Student Committee Resources

Teaching Resources

  • New Instructor Handbook: New Instructor Handbook | Department of Epidemiology (washington.edu)
  • Items to complete if you are instructing or co-instructing an Epi course
    • CDP survey (for those for whom this is requested)
    • Instructor self-evaluation at the end of the quarter (will be sent to you during the quarter you are teaching)
    • The Epi Curriculum Committee with schedule an instructor check-in with you during the quarter you are teaching an Epi course.
      • The “instructor check-ins” are intended to provide a forum for Epi faculty to build community around teaching and connecting with others who are teaching the current quarter and future quarters. We believe that these check-ins can facilitate awareness of other Epi courses, communication and support between faculty, and exchange of resources and insight that support pedagogical growth. Right now, we are planning one for winter quarter and one for spring, and then we will evaluate how these are going.
