Links of interest

This page provides several links of potential interest to course participants. This is by no means a comprehensive list of links. The current focus is on epidemiological links. I hope to add more links as the course progresses.

World Health Organization

IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)

PHAC (The Population Health Agency of Canada)

CDC (Centers for Disease Control - USA)

Flu Watch (information about influenza in Canada)

The Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion
This is a newly formed agency (in response to the SARS outbreak) which is Ontario's version of the US CDC. The website is still lacking in public health detail but, it is worth keeping in mind for the future.
