Epidemiologists confront one or several complex health concerns through the study and control of the factors that lead to disease. We equip our graduates with a strong research foundation that prepares them to actively respond to current and emerging challenges such as:
Many states have reported shortages of qualified workers for epidemiology positions — meaning this work is in demand.
Tamara Dubowitz's research looks at neighborhood investments and assets, design and implementation of natural experiments, and community-based research and health disparities.
Pitt Public Health's vision of informed, empowered and healthy populations as explained through our mission and strategic plan goals.
Racism is a public health emergency. We, the faculty and leadership of the Department of Epidemiology, condemn racism in all its forms and its adverse effects on the health and well-being of our society.
