Abstract：
Over the past century, the field of epidemiology has evolved and adapted to changing public health needs. Challenges include newly emerging public health concerns across broad and diverse content areas, new methods, and vast data sources. We recognize the need to engage and educate the next generation of epidemiologists and prepare them to tackle these issues of the 21st century. In this commentary, we suggest a skeleton framework upon which departments of epidemiology should build their curriculum. We propose domains that include applied epidemiology, biological and social determinants of health, communication, creativity and ability to collaborate and lead, statistical methods, and study design. We believe all students should gain skills across these domains to tackle the challenges posed to us. The aim is to train smart thinkers, not technicians, to embrace challenges and move the expanding field of epidemiology forward.
摘要：
在过去的一个世纪里,流行病学领域已经发展并适应了不断变化的公共卫生需求。挑战包括广泛和不同内容领域的新出现的公共卫生问题，新方法,和大量的数据来源。我们认识到有必要吸引和教育下一代流行病学家，并为他们解决21世纪的这些问题做好准备。在这篇评论中,我们建议一个基本框架，流行病学部门应该在这个框架上建立他们的课程。我们提出的领域包括应用流行病学，健康的生物和社会决定因素，通信,创造力和协作和领导能力，统计方法，和研究设计。我们相信所有学生都应该在这些领域获得技能，以应对我们面临的挑战。目的是培养聪明的思想家，不是技术人员，迎接挑战，推动不断扩大的流行病学领域向前发展。
