Infectious Disease Epidemiology Training Program

The Infectious Disease Epidemiology Training Program was established in 2001 with the goal of developing investigators with expertise in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), trainees selected for this program will be expected to conduct clinical or laboratory based research with one of the participating faculty mentors. In addition, they will be required to obtain a masters or doctoral degree with a focus in Infectious Disease Epidemiology through the Mailman School of Public Health or the Division of Infectious Disease at the Columbia University Medical Center. The goal is that graduates of the program will serve as future leaders in the effort to rapidly identify, prevent and manage emerging and reemerging infections in a dramatically changing global environment.

Candidates will be subject to the requirements of NIH Institutional Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards and to the requirements of the MSPH and CUMC Admissions Offices.
