MD Epidemiology and Population Health
Course Overview
This course delves into the epidemiological study of infectious diseases in both human and animal populations, with a special focus on the critical intersection of zoonotic pathogens. Students will explore the dynamics of disease transmission, prevention, and control through a multidisciplinary lens that integrates medical, veterinary, and basic science research. The curriculum is grounded in real-world applications, drawing from studies conducted in diverse global settings from the UK to Africa and Asia.
Key Program Highlights
- Multidisciplinary research integrating medical, veterinary, and basic science perspectives
- Focus on the epidemiology and control of zoonotic diseases that transfer between animals and humans
- Analysis of critical global issues including antimicrobial resistance and climate change impacts on disease
- Hands-on research opportunities in diverse settings, from local farms to international field sites
- Training in advanced epidemiological methods for improving health in both human and animal populations
