Updated in 2016, P is for Practice is a case study-based training series developed by the North Carolina Institute for Public Health to allow non-epidemiologists to practice basic epidemiology skills and public health concepts, including:

The course contains realistic scenarios and case studies that you can use to practice basic epidemiology and investigation skills learned in the first two parts of the training series, E is for Epidemiology and I is for Investigation.
