“It is important to me to be able to create statistical models and do my own analysis. There’s a gap between research findings and how they make their way down to the patient level and I want to be able to translate that to my patients.”
Lead the future of Epidemiology
Epidemiology seeks to identify the underlying causes of human illness to inform clinical practice and preventive strategies, including policy and regulatory actions. The interdisciplinary program in epidemiology focuses on the rapidly advancing area of molecular epidemiology which overcomes impediments to traditional epidemiologic approaches by discovering and incorporating molecular measures of susceptibility, exposures, biologic response, preclinical changes, and prognostic phenotypes over the life course. Students obtain rigorous training in formulating and testing hypotheses by planning and executing well-designed human epidemiologic studies combined with applying innovative molecular markers and complex statistical modeling of high-dimensional data. Topics span global, infectious, nutritional, environmental, cancer, and clinical epidemiology and the goals of precision medicine and prevention.
Dartmouth’s Master of Science degree in Epidemiology trains highly qualified students to identify and solve public health challenges by employing state-of-the-art approaches.
The Epidemiology degree provides a unique interdisciplinary education in the areas of epidemiology, statistical analysis, and bioinformatics for careers in biomedicine in academia and the emerging private sector, healthcare, government, and other non-profit agencies.
