ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: This course teaches veterinary students basic principles of epidemiology. Dynamic relationships of dairy herd performance parameters are demonstrated. METHODOLOGY: Courseware combines lectures (both in-class and Web-based) and problem-based exercises using two computer simulation models. The format of this eight-week, one-credit course is a lecture followed by exercises in a computer laboratory working with simulation models. Currently, Cornell University and nine test sites use the courseware. CURRENT STATUS: The course has been taught for two years, with students and experts providing evaluations and critical feedback for courseware modification.
