- 3-4 credit hour(s) for OJOC and residential students;
- Instructor(s): John Meeker
- Offered Every fall semester
- Last offered Fall 2024
- Prerequisites: Previous or concurrent enrollment in biostatistics course
- Description: Concepts and techniques related to the evaluation of occupational exposures to gases, vapors, and aerosols.

EHS657: Advanced Exposure Assessment
- Graduate level
- Residential
- Winter term(s) for residential students;
- 3 credit hour(s) for residential students;
- Instructor(s): John Meeker (Residential);
- Last offered Winter 2020
- Not offered 2024-2025
- Prerequisites: EHS507, BIOSTAT503/equivalent, EPID503/equivalent
- Description: The course will introduce classical, contemporary, and cutting-edge approaches to the estimation of human exposure to environmental and occupational agents as it relates to epidemiology studies as well as risk science, regulatory compliance, exposure source/route apportionment, and susceptibility factors. Qualitative and quantitative methods in exposure science will be covered, including surrogate measures, exposure modeling, and biological markers of exposure, in addition to statistical concepts such as exposure measurement error and efficient study design.
