Course enrollment limited to 25 students. Every year, over 48 million people will experience a foodborne illness episode in the US. In this course you will learn how foodborne illnesses are investigated, and how outbreaks are traced through complex food systems back to the contaminated food. By conducting patient interviews, you will gain practical experience in solving foodborne disease outbreaks. You will also contribute to preventing foodborne outbreaks by developing case studies on foodborne disease root causes that you will present to food companies.
