The Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) is launching a new webinar series, "Transforming Epidemiology through Advanced Methods (TEAM): Bringing the epidemiology community together as a virtual TEAM." The first webinar will be held in late August, and others are scheduled for October 2014 and January 2015.
The TEAM webinars will create an online community where epidemiologists can discuss methods, practices, and technologies that can improve the efficiency of practice and extend the reach of epidemiology in the 21st century.
