流行病学理学博士-癌症流行病学

这是癌症流行病学领域激动人心的时刻，因为技术进步已导致对暴露的更精确测量，创建更大型的更复杂的数据库以及开发新的分析方法。约翰·霍普金斯大学的癌症流行病学学院进行了广泛的公共卫生研究，涵盖了整个癌症连续性，包括癌症病因，早期发现，癌症预防，控制，监视，生存率和许多癌症的差异。在约翰·霍普金斯大学（包括与西德尼·金梅尔综合癌症中心的研究人员合作）以及其他机构以及国内外的研究中，都非常重视转化流行病学和团队科学。许多教师还参与了大型国际财团的工作，并可以访问各种数据。
The doctoral program in Epidemiology is anchored in public health and population research and analysis. Students approach research using epidemiologic methods to understand complex human health problems. The PhD requires two years of coursework followed by two (or more) years of research. Students are required to complete a teaching training curriculum and serve as a teaching assistant for methods and topical courses. Additionally, students must complete a written comprehensive exam, a practice oral exam, a preliminary exam, multiple oral and poster presentations, and a final dissertation including presentation and defense.<br>This is an exciting time in the field of Cancer Epidemiology as technological advancements have led to more precise measurements of exposures, the creation of large more complex databases, and the development of new analytic methods. The Cancer Epidemiology faculty at Johns Hopkins conduct a wide range of public health research that covers the entire cancer continuum including cancer etiology, early detection, cancer prevention, control, surveillance, survivorship and disparities of a number of cancers. There is a strong emphasis on translational epidemiology and team science, both within Johns Hopkins (including collaboration with investigators at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center) and other institutes as well as nationally and internationally. Many of the faculty are also involved in large international consortia efforts and have access to a variety of data.
