流行病学理学硕士

流行病学是一门研究特定人群健康和疾病状况的模式，原因和影响的科学。它是公共卫生的基石，并通过识别疾病的风险因素和预防性医疗保健的目标为政策决策和循证实践提供依据。因此，它具有独特的位置，可提供开展研究和公共卫生计划所需的方法和技能，以识别可能作为一级预防目标的疾病相关性，评估医疗服务变化对人群的后果，以及适应集成和分析大规模信息的不断增长的需求。我们的课程侧重于流行病学和生物统计学方法，旨在为学生提供解决未来公共卫生和信息挑战所需的工具和技能。根据劳工统计局（BLS）的数据，流行病学家总体上可能具有良好的
Epidemiology is the science that studies the distribution, determinants, and patterns of disease in human populations. It is a cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based clinical practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Our MS in Epidemiology program in the Department of Public Health Sciences is a 34-credit course of study designed to provide students with the methodologies and skills needed to 1) carry out research and manage public health programs to identify correlates of disease that may be targets of primary prevention, 2) evaluate the consequences of changes in health care delivery on populations, and 3) to accommodate the growing need to integrate and analyze large-scale information. Our MS program sits within a large urban medical center and all its clinical research resources and collaborative faculty at the University of Rochester. The University is home to numerous health sciences graduate programs and a large diverse student body. Students completing the program will be well prepared to take positions in academic research, private industry, government, and non-profit agencies. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), epidemiologists have great job prospects overall. <br>The Master of Science in Epidemiology is a 34-credit, three-semester course of study designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to examine factors associated with the development and prevention of disease in populations. We meet this goal by providing students with a strong foundation in the fundamental elements of epidemiologic research and biostatistics.<br>The Master of Science in Epidemiology includes 31 credits of required coursework. This includes epidemiology (or biostatistics) core methods courses, Ethics, elective courses, and thesis research (6 credits). Students will submit a written research proposal to their thesis committee for approval. They will defend their thesis at completion in a public forum followed by a closed Q & A session with thesis committee members.
