From an MSW Student who took the course previously:
Two professors that I work with, Dr. Renee Heffron and Dr. Jared Baeten, are offering a class this Spring on HIV Prevention Research Methods. I took this class my first year at SSW and really enjoyed it. It is a great class for people interested in global health, public health, HIV/STIs and/or research.
I was a bit worried about taking it without having an Epi background but had no problems. As you know, social work students often add a great social justice perspective to other disciplines, which is greatly appreciated in this class.
