Causal Inference Summer Institute

June 22-25, 2020

The Center for Causal Inference is proud to announce its fourth annual Causal Inference Summer Institute, a four-day, intensive learning experience that will take place at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.

Each day will offer didactic lectures by experts in the field, discussion of real examples, and hands-on computing sessions. This year, our opening day will feature a Distinguished Lectureship by Susan Murphy, Professor of Statistics, Harvard University

Our fourth day will feature new ideas on designing and analyzing pharmocoepidemiology studies using causal approaches.

We welcome statisticians, epidemiologists, clinicians, and researchers from other disciplines who are interested in gaining an understanding and practical foundation in causal inference.

Registration information will be available soon.
