My teaching focuses on methodology (study design, data analysis) for causal inference. I teach researchers who need to evaluate or generate evidence to support decision-making, especially for clinical medicine and health policy. My aim is to help them develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to articulate sound arguments. I have developed and led core methods courses at the Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School.
I currently teach clinical epidemiology at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. If you want to come to study at Harvard, my colleagues at the CAUSALab and I offer short courses in June. Also, HarvardX/edX offers my free online course Causal Diagrams: Draw Your assumptions Before Your Conclusions. The Assessments for the course are available here and the answers (don’t cheat, please) here. If you are interested in how a massive online course is made, Harvard Magazine published a short piece about our course.
Outside Harvard, I often teach short courses here:
- January: Swiss Epidemiology Winter School, Wengen, Switzerland
- March/April: Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
- August: CEMFI Summer School, Madrid, Spain
