Blended, On-Campus
English
The doctoral study program "Preventive medicine and epidemiology" is using the principles of evidence-based medicine to assess the impact of various factors (physical, chemical, environmental, biological) on human health at the individual as well as the population level in order to identify possible approaches for prevention. The program integrates knowledge and approaches originating from the fields of toxicology, molecular biology, immunology including clinically-oriented disciplines. The program represents a theoretical basis for preventive disciplines in medicine, e.g. public health, epidemiology, and biostatistics. The program is carried out without any specialization.

Postgraduate study in Physiology and Pathophysiology is focused on the investigation of functions of organs and organ systems during responses and adaptations to changes in the external and internal environments in health and disease. The transition from studies of indirect manifestations of certain functions to their own functional and regulatory mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels predominates. The acquired knowledge is fundamental for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. Study program without specialization.

Degree Description 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 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. Learner Objectives The primary goal of the doctoral program in the Department of Epidemiology is to prepare graduates for professional careers as scientists, teachers, and practitioners of epidemiological methods. Career opportunities in epidemiology exist in academic institutions, local, state, and federal health agencies, and commercial enterprises. Graduates with a Ph.D. in Epidemiology will be able to: Master the M.S. degree objectives. Understand and be capable of using advanced statistical analysis methods appropriate for the study design and to control for confounding. Manage data collection and quality control in research data, including the development of a questionnaire. Understand and demonstrate specific risk factors and disease processes in a specialized area. Review literature and conceptualize theoretical models of disease and causation and develop hypotheses building upon prior research. Conduct independent research including design, data collection, analysis, and translation into applied and theoretical constructs. Demonstrate the ability to write a proposal for grant funding. Demonstrate in writing and oral presentation knowledge of epidemiological concepts and methods. Demonstrate in writing and oral presentation the ability to explain research study design and results of student-initiated research and to defend the results and implications.

What is Epidemiology?
Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread and are controlled. It’s a vital tool in the fight against disease, as it can help to identify the source of an outbreak and the best way to contain it. Epidemiologists also play a key role in developing new vaccines and treatments for diseases.
Why is studying Epidemiology important?
There are a number of reasons why studying epidemiology is important. Firstly, it can help to save lives by identifying the source of an outbreak, and the best way to contain it. Secondly, it can help to develop new vaccines and treatments for diseases. Finally, it can also provide valuable information on the natural history of a disease, which can be used to improve prevention and control measures.
What can I do with a degree in Epidemiology?
There are many career options available for those with a degree in epidemiology. These include working as a public health official, medical researcher, or disease control specialist. Many epidemiologists also work in the pharmaceutical industry, developing new drugs and vaccines.
What degrees are available in Epidemiology?
There are many different types of epidemiology degrees available, from bachelor's and master's degrees, to PhDs. The coursework for these degrees varies depending on the program, but may include classes in biology, statistics, public health, and research methods.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
