Full Description
This exam centers on the theoretical concepts of causal inference within clinical epidemiology. Key topics include causal diagrams, counterfactuals, and causal models necessary for establishing disease causation.
These concepts are critical for interpreting study results and making appropriate inferences about health interventions. Understanding causal inference enhances the rigor of epidemiological studies and contributes to more effective health policies.
The exam will evaluate candidates' ability to articulate the principles of causal inference and the application of these principles in real-world scenarios involving clinical studies.
Candidates may also discuss the challenges and limitations associated with establishing causal relationships in epidemiological research.
Sample Questions
- What are the main components of a causal diagram?
- How does the counterfactual approach contribute to causal inference?
