About Vic (Vic history, appreciations, interviews - Vic's retirement party)

Recorded interviews with UNC public health people

*Alert* UNC is discontinuing its Sakai platform. Vic is relocating the various resources he has made available through Sakai. The under-construction version is at https://www.epidemiolog.net/sjae/publib/. (Many of the links on this page and others it references have been in Sakai, but many others are on this website.)

Web sites (note: I have had to relocate several websites - this page, EPID600, and the Minority Health Project - when UNC decomissioned its AFS server. You can find these legacy sites at https://www.epidemiolog.net/epid600/ and https://www.epidemiolog.net/mhp/. (Please let me know about links I need to fix.):

https://go.unc.edu/EPID: Epidemiology for Enlightenment!

Course materials from EPID600 (formerly EPID160): Principles of epidemiology for public health (2001-2017) and
EPID168 (now called EPID715): Fundamentals of epidemiology (1980-2000)
*Including Understanding the fundamentals of epidemiology – an evolving text [direct link]
(*Incluso Comprendiendo los fundamentos de la epidemiología – un texto en desarrollo [enlace directo])

plus the web publication The UNC Department of Epidemiology: Our First 40 Years, 1936-1976 and other materials from the Department's history
