The Year In Epidemiology - 2019 Our 2019 calendar of key events in epidemiology contains 142 listings to help you stay in touch and up to date on the latest developments in the field. An observation we have made in preparing the 2019 calendar is that the diversity of events has diminished. Also, the total number of listings is significantly lower than last year (175 events). Here is the breakdown of listings by type of event: Event type Conferences Meetings Short Courses Summer Programs Northern hemisphere Southern hemisphere Winter Programs Northern hemisphere Southern hemisphere Other Total
Quantity 55 6 57 17 2 5 0 0 142
As you can see, all of our listings fall into only 5 categories. Gone are listings for one-time special events, online courses, webinars, hackathons, and other unique offerings. Based on recent developments, we did endeavor to identify events described as population health or data science gatherings, but only found two new listings to include. We excluded population health management listings. If your upcoming event is not listed, use the submission form at https://bit.ly/2BuiEJj to have it included in an updated version of the calendar published online AND in our EpiGram email alerts sent to all subscribers.
