This highly acclaimed course covers the application of statistics, molecular biology and genetics to the analysis of complex diseases such as asthma, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Both human and animal model data are presented and considered in-depth.

The course consists of formal lectures, discussion groups, demonstrations and tutorials, with some afternoons left open for recreational purposes. Students reside on-site at The Highseas Conference Center at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. This informal interaction provides a unique and varied learning opportunity in a retreat-like environment.

This course is approved for up to 52 hours of Continuing Medical Education credit through the Maine Medical Center. The Maine Medical Center is accredited by the Maine Medical Association to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
