This
course, offered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, aims
to provide a program that will update health workers and regulators involved in
risk management and communication with the necessary skills and their
application to current health issues.
The course is completed in one year part-time. It is not offered on a full-time
basis.
This degree allows students to gain basic knowledge and competence in assessing

soil.
