Rave Reviews
“Dr. Card has greatly impacted my understanding of public health and my current career in the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The applied research training that Dr. Card provided me has been critically important for my current work … His teaching style is unorthodox compared to many of my other professors, but it makes him incredibly effective in invoking critical thinking and engagement from students.” - Sumrit B.
“We have many great professors/lecturers in the Faculty of Health Sciences. Nevertheless, as a senior undergraduate student, I can attest that few lecturers have the combination of an in-depth knowledge, patience, professionalism, and kind demeanor like Dr. Card has.” - Payman B.
“Kiffer’s course not only provide me with the foundation to pursue more knowledge in epidemiology, but it enhanced my interest in this topic - which I did not think was possible. Kiffer went above and beyond in his receptiveness to feedback throughout the course, more so than I have experienced with any professor at SFU. I truly believe that this receptiveness was a crucial component to my successes in this course!” - Angel K.
“This class was one of the few epi courses at SFU that wasn't a waste of time. You actually do things like learn how to code in R and the only other major assignment was to write a fellowship proposal that you could use for a masters program! The R textbook that Dr. Card developed for the course was really helpful.” - Anonymous, Rate my Professor
