Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Graduate Program List

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there has been an infinite competition in the medical industry, where we have to make income in a variety of fields, including research, IT, big data, and 3D imaging. The purpose of this center is to establish a cooperative system of research and industrialization at all times, to activate research and development, and to make it easier to use research radiology equipment.

The students also have training in epidemiologic methods, quantitative methods in health research, and biostatistical methods. Graduates will have a good opportunity of working as a health professional in evaluating the effectiveness of new preventive and therapeutic modalities and of new organizational patterns of health care delivery. Health promotion is another area the department on, techniques for health promotion planning, national and regional policy for health promotion, and detailed methods for effective health education will be introduced. The division also provide a detailed review of all the steps involved in planning a health promotion program.
