Our programs integrate coursework, practical experience, teaching experience, and completion of a doctoral thesis that contributes to the field, both in originality and knowledge.</p> <p> </p> Mon, 22 Jun 2015 15:39:56 +0000 kyla.hosie@mcgill.ca 794 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/seminars-events/seminars/epidemiology <h2>Seminars - Fall 2024/Winter 2025</h2> <p><i>The Seminars in Epidemiology organized by the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at the McGill School of Population and Global Health is a self-approved Group Learning Activity (Section 1) as defined by the maintenance of certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.</i><br /></p> Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:22:47 +0000 dolores.coleto@mcgill.ca 669 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/engaged-across-disciplines-our-collective-health-and-well-being <h3>Engaged across disciplines for our collective health and well-being</h3> Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:57:04 +0000 dolores.coleto@mcgill.ca 4 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/education/grad/epidemiology <p><strong>What is Epidemiology?</strong> 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 specific techniques of data collection and interpretation that translate into procedure with a solid foundation as a basic science for public health.</p> Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:18:41 +0000 admin 16 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/about-us/chair <p>Welcome to the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health in the School of Population and Global Health at McGill University!</p> Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:18:40 +0000 andre.gagnon@mcgill.ca 13 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/education/grad <p><a href="/equity/files/equity/mcgill_strategic_edi_plan_2020-20251.pdf">McGill University embraces the principles of academic freedom, integrity, responsibility, equity, and inclusiveness.</a></p> Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:18:40 +0000 andre.gagnon@mcgill.ca 7 at /epi-biostat-occh
