  • Cancer Epidemiology

    Focuses on studying cancer prevention, causes and control, as well as factors affecting trends in cancer incidence, mortality, screening and treatment.

  • Clinical Health Services Epidemiology

    Aims to improve health outcomes by quantifying safety and effectiveness of clinical, preventive, and healthcare interventions.

  • Chronic Disease / Lifecourse Epidemiology

    Provides the interested student with the opportunity to learn techniques and tools to investigate etiology and control, including screening and outcomes, of chronic disease across the lifespan.

  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

    Improves health by assessing and quantifying the impact of infection and the use of control, treatment and prevention interventions to manage, eliminate and eradicate these diseases.

  • Injury Epidemiology

    Students will have opportunities to collaborate and gain skills across many disciplines (e.g., medicine, engineering, psychology, urban planning), which will prepare them for careers in this growing field.

  • Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology

    Aims to improve health outcomes by quantifying biologic information and assessing its influence on health, interventions, services and programs.
