SOFTWARE FOR EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS: USE AND TRAINING

For epidemiological analysis, it is desirable to have specialized programs and to train the students of a preventive medicine faculty in their application. With the state-of-the-art capabilities, Internet services are the most convenient variant of applying an approach to these programs. In this connection, the Department of Medical Informatics and Statistics and the Department of Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Medicine of the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University with the support of colleagues from other medical universities have developed a project as the websites 1mgmu.com and nasci.ru with information materials and ready programs for the epidemiological analysis of the data accessible to students and specialists. Both universal statistical (calculation of exact confidence limits to frequency) and specialized (analysis of intra-annual morbidity trends and mapping of outbreaks and morbidity rates) programs are available at these websites.
