Program Goals
The goals of the program are:
- Understand the role of epidemiology and its contribution to other health-related disciplines. Students will recognize epidemiology's significance and contribution to other health-related fields. Without an understanding of epidemiology, students cannot effectively identify and address health issues that impact our communities.
- Learn how to choose appropriate designs and develop detailed protocols for epidemiological studies. Students will master the art of selecting appropriate designs and creating in-depth protocols is crucial for conducting effective epidemiological studies. With the right knowledge, students can conduct studies that provide valuable insights into the health of populations.
- Use epidemiologic methods to promote public health and prevent disease. Students will utilize epidemiological techniques, which can effectively identify and control the spread of diseases, monitor health trends, and implement targeted interventions.
- Discover how to manage clinical health data, carry out appropriate statistical analysis, and rigorously assess the results of studies. Students will gain the knowledge and skills to effectively manage clinical health data, perform accurate statistical analysis, and thoroughly evaluate study results. With this expertise, they can make informed decisions and contribute to improving healthcare outcomes.
- Investigate the causes of specific health conditions and predict future disease patterns. Students will discover the root causes of certain health conditions and predict their future occurrence patterns which can be a game-changer in the field of healthcare. By delving deep into the underlying factors contributing to these conditions, they can take proactive measures to prevent them from happening in the first place.
- Explore how to interpret and understand research findings in a broader policy context. Students will learn the power of interpreting and understanding research findings in the broader context of policy. With this knowledge, they can unlock the potential of research to drive meaningful change and inform critical decision-making.
