ACADEMIC OBJECTIVES

The academic objectives of the department are:

  1. To prepare students for careers in research, teaching and community service.

  2. To provide a stimulating academic environment which will challenge students to expand their field of knowledge, develop their understanding of epidemiologic methodologies and ability to apply these to a wide range of health problems.

  3. To provide students in the other programs in the School of Public Health with an understanding of the basic principles of epidemiology and of their application to the resolution of health problems in the community.

  4. To join with other departments in the School of Public Health to conduct multidisciplinary educational programs for the training of more broadly qualified health professionals (e.g., environmental epidemiologist).

  5. To improve the quality of epidemiology practice in developing countries, particularly in Asia, through training in-country and at UCLA.
