Models have become increasingly important in the field of\ninfectious disease epidemiology, and broadly in the field of public health, in\nrecent years because the ability of scientists and officials to make educated\ndecisions based on data is important. However, many authors have stated\nrecently (and especially during COVID) that programs that train people working\nwith infectious diseases generally do not impart adequate training in\nunderstanding models. While many resources aimed at teaching infectious disease\nmodeling do exist, they are aimed at different audiences and there currently\nexists no synthesis of these resources. As a potential solution to the problem,\nwe offer here a comprehensive review of resources relevant to the pedagogy of\ninfectious disease epidemiology, with a focus on modeling.<\/p>\n\n\nGoyal<\/a>\n Salil Goyal, a student at the University of California Berkeley, worked with Dr. Andreas Handel.
