I chose UCLA's Epidemiology program because unlike other schools, our core classes are the same ast the PhD's so we're all taught at the same PhD level.


Epidemiology advances the field of knowledge of disease causation, transmission and prevention through studies of the distribution of diseases in human populations, through laboratory studies and through incorporation of techniques derived from other disciplines; and provides a technical base for development of the optimal use and distribution of health resources for the promotion of community health.
