Helping applicants to graduate programs in the area of epidemiology allows us to have the privilege of making important contributions to saving innocent human life, especially as concerns environmental and public health issues in less-developed countries, our central focus at www.statementsofpurpose.com. We are especially concerned with in the way in which less-developed countries, in particular, need to become more self-reliant through the ongoing, sustainable development of crucial, new environmental protection and public health policies, practices, and education. It is an honor for us to help those who will have an influence in the future over critically important policy decisions in the allocation of resources for epidemiological research. We have now helped dozens of applicants in the area of epidemiology who are now strategic decision makers and advisers for non-profits, international agencies, working for national governments or staying engaged with cutting-edge epidemiological research in both public and private sectors. It will be an honor for us to assist you as well in the fulfillment of your professional dreams in epidemiology.

You probably went into this branch of medicine with humanitarian intentions. Let’s face it, there is huge scope within this and other medical fields to go into the developing world and help others less fortunate than ourselves, as well as those closer to home. The world needs epidemiologists! Let’s look at some of the work and study opportunities open to you now.

Jobs

Courses For Epidemiologists

Master’s in Epidemiology and Human Genetics

This is an example of a fairly standard program at the University of Maryland Baltimore, USA, which doesn’t specialize in development or international health specifically. However, it gives you a good grounding in the observational, biostatistical, molecular and genomic tools you can apply in clinical practice, and different tracks of specialization to suit your interest: Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine, Clinical Research, and Human Genetics and Genomic Medicine. It’s only 1087 USD per semester for international students.

M.Sc. Public Health for Development

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in the UK provides students with the skills needed to appreciate and analyze public health problems in developing countries, design and evaluate actions to improve public health and understand global health issues, development and provision of health services from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The program costs 22,680 EUR for non-EEA members and is a one-year, full-time program or a two-year part-time program.  

Master’s in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control

This master’s trains students to become the future leaders in identifying disease etiologies; in the design, implementation and evaluation of biomedical interventions and prevent, mitigate and treat diseases of a global nature. It’s held at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

M.Sc. Tropical Medicine & International Health

This course is held at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK. The course aims to develop the careers of doctors whose interest lies in global health and tropical diseases. This is a one-year, full-time course which can alternatively be split over two years, but no part-time option is available. It costs 19,450 GBP for non EEA students.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a positive outlook for epidemiologists, but if you want to go further afield the world is your oyster. There is so much great work to be done, and you’d certainly be wise to polish your skills as much as possible before launching your career abroad or elsewhere. If you’d like some help with your admission and personal statement writing, please do get in touch.

I have grown up in Lebanon where life is hard for the majority of people, especially because of the prevalence of disease and a health care system that fails to address our health care crises. Both of my parents are doctors and this helped to sensitize me from a very young age concerning the medical crises that surrounded me. Watching poor people wander the streets desperately in need of help gradually instilled in me the dream of doing something about this tragedy that might be able to show concrete progress, if not for our children in Lebanon, at least our grandchildren. Our public health challenges have also been exacerbated by war, first civil war, followed by devastating wars with Israel. This has resulted in inferior public health infrastructures in many areas of my country, even for a developing country. I see your program at UXX as the best fit for my interests, especially because of the vast inter-disciplinary resources that I will be able to bring to bear on my quest to better understand and confront the spread of disease in my country.
