STREAMS

Students may choose to focus their elective courses. Streams do not appear on the official transcript, but students will receive a certificate attesting to completion of the stream requirement and may indicate it on their curriculum vitae.

Students are not required to select a stream. They may choose to select their complementary courses based on their own goals and interests.

Stream 1: Epidemiology

The Epidemiology Stream will allow students to further develop their analytical and methodological skills. Students will be expected to attend the Department’s Epidemiology Seminars and encouraged to participate in one of the epidemiology-related journal clubs.
