流行病学哲学博士

博士 流行病学专业的构建符合部门的培训理念。公共卫生学院的生物统计学系和其他部门做出了巨大贡献，因此候选人在定量和分析技术，流行病学研究的设计和进行，人口统计学方法以及大数据集的管理方面具有扎实的基础。需要医学生理学和病理学中的每门课程，以提供对疾病过程的基本了解。此外，每个学生都会与顾问一起选择能够确保在特定领域具有实质性知识的课程，这些知识将产生重要的原始研究成果。对于具有以下研究兴趣的学生，可以提供几种推荐的研究计划：慢性病，传染病，临床和卫生服务，分子和遗传流行病学以及伤害流行病学。除了论文之外，
The Ph.D. in Epidemiology is constructed to meet the department's philosophy of training. There is a substantial contribution from the Biostatistics Department and other departments in the College of Public Health so that the candidate is well-grounded in quantitative and analytical techniques, design and conduct of epidemiologic studies, demographic methods, and the management of large data sets. A course each in medical physiology and pathology is required to provide a basic understanding of disease processes. In addition, each student works with an adviser to select courses that ensure substantive knowledge in a specific area which will generate important original research. Several recommended Plans of Study are available for students with the following research interests: chronic diseases, infectious diseases, clinical and health services, molecular and genetic epidemiology, and injury epidemiology. An independent but finite research experience is required aside from the dissertation. Finally, relevant courses elsewhere in the university are encouraged.
