A PhD in Epidemiology and Applied Health Research will provide the foundations for learners to develop into independent investigators. The Doctorate degree in Epidemiology and Applied Health Research begins with a year of self-directed learning. Learners complete 12 credit hours of classroom instruction, which includes a 6 credit hour PhD course Epidemiology and Applied Health Research. Learners will also participate in seminars and small-group discussions to consolidate knowledge, skills and attitudes in epidemiology and applied health research to prepare for comprehensive examination. Learners engage in professional development including a placement in a real-world setting and courses in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. All PhD candidates prepare and defend a thesis proposal that demonstrates core competencies in synthesizing the literature, developing a tractable research question and incorporating rigorous methodology. The program culminates with an oral thesis defence that shows the candidates contribution to original knowledge.
