  The origin of the Bahia-US training program in occupational and environmental health is rooted in the long term ties built by faculty and former students from the Federal University of Bahia, mainly from the Department of Preventive Medicine of the Medical School, who came to the graduate program in Epidemiology in the School of Public Health at UNC-CH.
• Hal Morgenstern EPID methods course 1975-1976.pdf
  These notes were developed by Hal Morgenstern (PhD 1978, Department of Epidemiology). Here is Hal’s account of their origin: “In July 1975, after I finished my first year in the PhD program at UNC Epi, I attended the 3-week Graduate Summer Session in Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota (which I directed at the University of Michigan from 2004 through 2017). One of the courses I took in 1975 was "Advanced Methods" taught for the first time in that program by Ken Rothman. Based on that 1975 course and unpublished notes by Olli Miettinen at Harvard, I "taught" an informal course at UNC between Sept 1975 and Mar 1976.“ The informal course was the precursor to the EPID268 course (Advanced epidemiologic methods) that David Kleinbaum and Larry Kupper taught in spring 1978, with Hal as the teaching assistant. The course also became the basis for their now classic textbook Epidemiologic Research: Principles and Quantitative Methods (Wiley, 1982, https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Epidemiologic+Research%3A+Principles+and+Quantitative+Methods-p-9780471289852). [In the outline on page 1, “D” refers to David Kleinbaum; “I” and “me” refer to Hal; “M” refers to Olli Miettinen.] (PDF received from Hal Morgenstern, 2/7/2018)
