The Department offers courses during the summer months of May and June.听 This provides health professionals the opportunity to gain familiarity with the principles of epidemiology and biostatistics and it also offers graduate students from 缅北强奸 and other universities the opportunity to acquire academic credits and thereby accelerate course work during a summer term.

A wide variety of courses are offered from general epidemiology and biostatistics to more specialized topics, such as pharmacoepidemiology and clinical trials.听听 Course offerings vary听each year. Courses may be of one week to one month in duration. Please refer to the Summer section of the department website.听 Information for the upcoming summer is usually posted in January.

Students are initially advised by their Degree Program Advisor. The Advisor鈥檚 role is to counsel the student about his/her academic program and also to mentor the student. The relationship between the Advisor and the student can last for the student鈥檚 entire academic program although, once a supervisor has been approved, the supervisor normally takes on the primary mentorship role. Students are encouraged to speak with different professors and with other students, and to peruse the websites of potential supervisors, in their search for a supervisor.
