As the Table Top Exercise requires a basic understanding of infectious disease epidemiology concepts and terminology, refreshing some background knowledge through the EDDi Welcome Tutorial is recommended, either individually or in small groups. The tutorial can be given to students as preparatory homework. In addition, students may be advised to familiarize themselves with the Epidemiology Cheat Sheet and bring a copy.

Materials:
