环境卫生哲学博士-暴露科学与环境流行病学（环境流行病学）

了解环境在人类健康中的作用对于改善人类尤其是弱势群体和边缘化群体的健康和生活质量至关重要。我们使用流行病学方法进行基于人群的研究，该研究结合了最新的暴露水平和结果评估，以评估环境在疾病，残疾和其他健康结果中的作用，并制定疾病预防和控制策略。我们与国内外的各种人群互动，采用经典和前沿的流行病学方法，并调查包括自然环境和建筑环境在内的各种环境暴露。
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program is a full-time degree program that offers a unique interdisciplinary learning experience where the course of study is individually tailored based on the student's interest in understanding and finding solutions to pressing problems in environmental health and engineering. The goal of PhD training in EHE is to prepare graduates to engage in scholarship and professional practice that creates new knowledge, use research to transform practice and improve the health of the environment and the public, and effectively communicate research findings to the public. The program requires didactic coursework followed by an average of four to five years of research towards a doctoral dissertation (also referred to as a thesis on official forms and committees).<br>Understanding the role of the environment in human health is critical to improve health and quality of life in human populations, especially among vulnerable and marginalized groups. Using an epidemiologic approach, we conduct population-based research that incorporates state-of-the art exposure and outcome assessment to evaluate the role of the environment in disease, disability, and other health outcomes and to develop strategies for health promotion and disease prevention and control. We engage with diverse populations nationally and internationally, employ classic and cutting-edge epidemiologic methods, and investigate a broad range of environmental exposures including the natural and built-environment.
