Epidemiology examines how health-related events and outcomes spread across populations and what factors influence them. A core aspect involves analyzing disease patterns among different groups. Identifying prevalence rates, risk factors, and measuring the scale of these occurrences forms the scientific foundation of public health. Key to epidemiological research is applying specialized methods, biostatistics, and proper study designs to assess how well disease prevention strategies work.
Students pursuing the epidemiology specialization must complete advanced coursework in both chronic and infectious disease epidemiology, higher-level biostatistics, and research methodology. They can select from specialized electives covering areas like: infectious diseases (including dengue, malaria, and HIV/AIDS), nutritional epidemiology, neurodegenerative conditions (such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's), non-communicable diseases (like diabetes and heart disease), obesity studies, and cancer research. The program also offers training in advanced statistical techniques and computational applications. During their field practicum, students engage with active epidemiological research projects either within the UH Mnoa network or through community partnerships.
