The Department of Preventive Medicine is responsible for training medical and graduate students in the areas of biometry, epidemiology, health behavior research, and occupational and preventive medicine. Faculty from the department also preform research in the areas of biostatistics, epidemiology of acute and chronic diseases, and occupational health.
The graduate programs offered by the department are noteworthy for the extensive opportunities offered to the students for involvement in faculty research. It is not uncommon for students to begin working closely with faculty members on research projects as early as their first or second year of study.
The Department of Preventive Medicine offers a master's program in biometry which is intended for individuals with a strong quantitative background (mathematics, statistics or computer science) and leads to an M.S. in Biometry. The master's program in applied biometry/epidemiology is intended for individuals with a clinical background (psychology, public health, allied health or medicine) and leads to an M.S. in Applied Biometry/Epidemiology. The department also offers courses of graduate study leading to a Ph.D. in biometry, epidemiology, or health behavior research.
