Re: Disease Detectives B/C 2020
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone knew what the main topic is going to be for Disease Detectives this year (2020). I think it could be Environment Quality, but I am not sure. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C 2020
In addition, they got rid of the entire topic thing for Disease Detectives last year, so you don't have to worry about that.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C 2020
I'm pretty sure the information tested from last year will be mostly the same as this year (since the topics don't rotate anymore), so looking at the handouts on soinc.org would be your best shot at understanding question types.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
A lot of the time, sample scenarios ("case studies") are given, and students answer questions relating to outbreak hypotheses, statistics, prevention and control measures, etc. etc.
In a more boring vein, you can format it the same as the rest of the test.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
In my opinion, taking a lot of tests is a good way to prepare, as it gives you a feel for the kind of material you'll be tested on. On your cheat sheet, you'll want to put lists (i.e. Koch's postulates, Bradford-Hill criteria), definitions, and diagrams that aren't worth memorizing. Also, if you want to have some fun with DD, try CDC's Solve the Outbreak (https://www.cdc.gov/mobile/applications/sto/index.html), which can help you with different types of outbreak scenarios.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
