Department SummaryThe Epidemiology department in the Fielding School of Public Health is a national leader in preparing a new generation of epidemiologists.

Such information plays a critical role in guiding policies and other evidence-based strategies to promote health and work toward health equity. The vital importance of epidemiologic research was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, in which epidemiologists have helped to track outbreaks and provide guidance on how the virus spreads in community settings.
