The mission of the Ph.D. Program in Epidemiology is to educate and train students to become independent, competent and self-directed research scientists so they can conduct outstanding clinical and population-based research. Students learn methods for studying disease etiology and prevention in populations and evaluating interventions, diagnostic tests, and treatment efficacy. Through the dissertation, students implement such methods under the mentorship of an experienced epidemiology researcher. VCU’s program offers individualized attention from faculty mentors who are matched with students based on complementary research interests. Working with their mentoring team, students focus on research, producing peer-reviewed presentations and publications. Students complete at least one teaching assistantship for initial instructional experience and submit a dissertation grant application to gain grant-writing experience. Students receive full funding contingent on academic good progress, including tuition/fees and an annual stipend. Program graduates are employed in academia, federal and state public health agencies, and the health care industry.
