Overview

The approach in the Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases program from Yale University is multidisciplinary. It includes ecological, clinical, cellular, immunologic and molecular aspects of infectious diseases, their causative agents, vertebrate hosts, and vectors.

Features

In addition, opportunities exist for Ph.D. training through interdepartmental programs in which YSPH faculty participate, such as the Microbiology and Immunobiology tracks of the Biomedical and Biological Studies program.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Although courses in epidemiology, microbiology and biostatistics are strongly recommended, there is no general required curriculum.

A faculty advisor is assigned at the time the student matriculates.

Each student plans, with the advice of the faculty advisor and the department representative to the Graduate Studies Executive Committee, a specific program that includes courses, seminars, laboratory rotations, and independent readings all tailored to the individual needs and career goals of the student.

The plan is outlined as early as possible in the first semester of graduate study.
