The concept of the winter school in the Bernese alps resembles that of the well-known epidemiology summer schools but takes place during the week following the ski races in January, when Wengen is calm, with few people on the slopes. Students stay on site and work hard in the morning. They then have an extended break to review course materials, catch up on emails or (more likely) to go skiing. We reconvene at 5 pm for computer sessions, group work or lectures.
You will be able to book one of the following courses on the website of the winter school (see link below).
* Advanced survival analysis for cohort studies
(Co-ordinator: Prof. Jonathan Sterne, University of Bristol, January 15-20)
* Indirect comparisons and network meta-analysis: Evidence synthesis with multiple treatments
(Co-ordinator: Dr. Julian Higgins, University of Cambridge, January 16-19)
* Writing a journal article - and getting it published
(Co-ordinator: Prof. Nicola Low, University of Bern, January 18-20)
Please note that the number of places is limited. The winter school is supported by the Swiss School of Public Health.
See website (www.epi-winterschool.org) for further information on these courses.
Many thanks for disseminating.
