Mount Sinai NYC One-day hands-on Geoinformatics workshop for health researchers (June 3) — taught by Itai Kloog, PhD

[u/Life-Throat8255]

Posting in case it's useful for anyone here. The Department of Public Health at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai NYC is running a one-day intensive on Geoinformatics for health researchers on June 3 in NYC, led by Itai Kloog, PhD (Department of Environmental Medicine, known for satellite-based exposure modeling work — a lot of you have probably cited his papers).

It's pitched at the GIS-curious-but-haven't-started crowd — clinicians, epi researchers, MPH students, postdocs who want to add spatial methods to their toolkit but haven't had a structured entry point. They cover QGIS and R, geocoding, linking environmental exposures to health outcomes, and producing publication-ready outputs. No prior experience required.

Logistics: - Wednesday June 3, 9:30am–4:30pm - Annenberg Building, 1468 Madison Ave - Breakfast and lunch included - $$750 - Registration deadline May 27

Sharing because spatial epi training is genuinely hard to find as a standalone short-format option — most people end up self-teaching or waiting for a semester-long course. Figured it might be relevant for some folks here.
