Wrapping up: Different approaches for different questions

: 3:35 PM - 4:35 PM
As the capstone of the institute, this presentation will summarize the potential uses of mathematical models in answering questions of public health interest, and touch on some of the common themes present between model types, and the major contracts between them. There will also be hands-on time with the institute faculty to address any remaining questions, and assist learners in further exploring the models they have created with ISIS and Zeke.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the difference between compartmental, network and agent-based models
- Evaluate which type of model may be most appropriate for the participant’s research goals.
- Identify next-steps and areas of further interest.
