The program in clinical epidemiology is aimed at university graduates intending a career in health services, faculty members seeking advanced training in clinical epidemiology, medical doctors and health care professionals interested in health care delivery research.
Participants in the clinical epidemiology program develop strong research skills and gain knowledge through core courses, research seminars and the completion of research projects. The PhD program requires students to take all courses required by the MSc, plus one or more additional courses as recommended by the supervisor. These courses may be taken at a University other than Memorial University. The PhD requires completion of an approved research project and a thesis. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Upon admission to the PhD program, a student must take the comprehensive examination before the end of the seventh semester as required by the general University regulations. The comprehensive exam will consist of both a written and an oral component. The specific areas to be examined will be chosen by an examination committee in consultation with the student's supervisor.
