Introduction
Clinical Epidemiology is the application of epidemiologic research methodology to patient populations. Studies in this field provide the evidence used to inform clinical practice and clinical decision-making. Clinical epidemiologists conduct patient-focused research on both communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Students in this program will learn the foundations of epidemiology and biostatistics and will gain skills in study design and research to conduct and analyze clinical data. They will also learn to interpret and communicate epidemiologic research as it relates to clinical practice. This certificate program is appropriate for medical students, physicians, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals interested in focused graduate-level training in clinical research skills.
