Sounds great, please put me on the list. I have not yet checked price, etc.
but if it will only cost me an arm I will attend, not if it is an arm and a
leg - that would impede me too for the hiking part which I do up here in
Skagit County. I like the concept of not just one day -- you forget
everything but 20% with these one day seminars. I will bring my own data and
a suggestion list -- if you want one, but it seems you are pretty tuned in
to the diverse stuff people might want to learn.

Subject: Summer GIS course


This summer I am offering a week long course at the University of Washington
through the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, 8am-5pm June
11-15th on using GIS in Public Health. There will be a lot on GIS, but even
more on public health. Check out http://healthlinks.washington.edu/nwcphp/
the link to check is "Summer Institute 2001." and then "Geographic
Information Systems."



Includes a fully functional version of Maptitude (www.caliper.com) 

You can be a beginner or further along. Its a good idea to have had an
epidemiology course and a statistics course as this year I will be teaching
some basic spatial statistics and some spatial modeling. Last year we did
two three day sessions accommodating a total of ~45 students. This year I
will offer only 1 session but it will run for 5 days so that a greater depth
of material can be covered at a higher level for a class size of about 20.

We will use Maptitude (www.caliper.com ) as the GIS software. Easy to use
and with functions we need for this course that other packages do not have.
If you have to use other software when you go home, you will find the
transition pretty easy. 

I have not developed a detailed syllabus yet but topics will include:

A through introduction to using the GIS software, but more importantly - to
public health GIS - you will be at an intermediate level when you leave.

Using GIS files from other packages (a snap in Maptitude), map projections
(even easier),

Thematic mapping, building your own layers from vital statistics data or
disease registries, using census data,

Geocoding using street files and using GPS data, building a GIS database,
SQL and spatial queries, making pretty maps to please your boss and
yourself,

finding and using free GIS data, descriptive spatial statistics using SPLUS,
CrimeStat. Cluster investigations, spatial scan statistics, spatial
regression modeling, spatial autocorrelation, profiling neighborhoods around
toxic waste sites (environmental equity), empirical Bayesian smoothing,
small area studies, web mapping. 

I am open to additional topics. Send me a note. You can bring your own data.
If you are interested in coming, please let me know what you are looking
for.

Of course since you are going to be very busy I won't tell you about the
incredible venue - sea, mountains, great food, world class music (rock and
classical), so forth. I suggest you tack on a few days on the end.
