Doctor's degree
Epidemiology
|
|
|
The purpose of the Ph.D. Program in Epidemiology is to develop scholarly expertise in the field of health, including both physical and mental disorders. Epidemiology is the study of the distributions and determinants of states of health and disease in human populations. These studies are the foundation for prevention and control of health disorders. Methods include the measurement of manifestations of disease and of the physical, social and behavioral phenomena of the environment; the design of studies; procedures for collecting, handling and interpreting large bodies of data; and statistical analyses. Those enrolled in the program have the opportunity to address major health problems of our society from a research perspective.
The scope of the program is interdisciplinary. The study of epidemiology requires an understanding of human biology and pathology of people in their social context, and of the ways of enumerating and analyzing populations. Thus, closely affiliated fields include the biomedical and social science disciplines and biostatistics. The well-trained epidemiologist should have some familiarity with all three fields and considerable depth in at least one of the three. This program permits specialization according to the student's background and interests, in addition to general studies in epidemiology and public health.
