"The content of the 2019 ICEMS was appropriate, and the deliberations were both intensive and extensive. It was an excellent and a unique opportunity to learn and appreciate core epidemiology and statistics principles in just three weeks! I strongly recommend the course for anyone considering a carrier in research."

Bully Camara MBChB, DTMH & ICEMS, Clinical Trial Coordinator/Clinician, MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM.

"While working on research projects in animal health sector, I realised a need of epidemiology and statistics. The day came when I heard about this course through one of my colleague. I would thank the University of Liverpool and Wellcome Trust for their sponsorship. I have never seen such a fantastic, very well organised and intensive training programme before where experts from various fields came together to teach us. I like the way of teaching that included interactive discussions, brain storming practical sessions & case studies. I believe, I am well equipped through this course and I would use this knowledge in my research project. I also got motivated by these learnings and in future I wish to pursue a PhD in animal health."

"I chose to attend the Introduction Course in Epidemiology and Medical Statistic because i joined a research centre a few years ago and it was an opportunity to get bases in epidemiology and medical statistics. I was totally satisfied due to the quality of the teaching and the lecturers. The amazing team that we created was beyond what I expected. Currently, it is very helpful in my work. So I highly recommend this course."

"Genuinely, a superb course and one of the best courses I have ever attended. All lectures and practical sessions were very informative. I got improved understanding of study design, bias, confounding, power calculations and statistical analysis of research results. I highly recommend this course to other biomedical researchers like me. Thank you."

Seraphine Esemu, Ph.D, Laboratory for Emerging Infectious Diseases, University of Buea, Cameroon.

"The course delivered at the MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM was a very successful program. The organisation, facilities, logistics and course delivery were fantastic similar in quality to what is obtainable in London. The faculty members were quite experienced and knowledgeable and statistical concepts that a I found difficult to understand were made simple.  Thanks to the course, I now have confidence in designing studies with appropriate methodology. I can also read scientific papers with better understanding and can critique a paper more constructively than before.  I now know how to work with statisticians intelligently. I recommend this course to all researchers towards ensuring success in their research career."
