Students will study the foundations and principles of epidemiology and applied biostatistics, in order to design, conduct and analyze clinical, population-based, environmental, policy, and methodological health-related research. Graduates will be prepared to engage in scientific collaboration, and communicate results to other scientists and diverse audiences.

For eligible clinicians: there is the possibility of completing the program in one year.

The Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health offers separate graduate training programs in each of its three broadly defined disciplines.

The Summer Seminar Series will take place from 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM in Room 24 of Purvis Hall. These lectures, given by McGill and guest faculty, cover current issues in epidemiology, topics of special interest within the McGill community, as well as topics of international interest.

The Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health at McGill University offers a one year (3 semesters) Master’s degree with thesis for clinicians (medicine, surgery, nursing, social work, physical and occupational therapy) who have completed the majority of their clinical or post-graduate training.

What is Epidemiology? Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to plan and evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to the management of patients in whom disease has already developed. Like the clinical findings and pathology, the epidemiology of a disease is an integral part of its basic description. The subject has its special techniques of data collection and interpretation, and its necessary technical terms.
