Special Program in MCH Epidemiology

The MCH Epidemiology program is offered jointly by the UIC-SPH Divisions of Community Health Sciences and Epidemiology - Biostatistics is one of only a few programs in the nation specifically dedicated to the area of Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology.  The program was developed in response to a national call to increase the number of individuals who can assist state and local public health agencies in strengthening their data and analytic capacity related to the health of women, children and families.  Graduates of this program will have the analytic skills to enable them to perform many of the activities of the MCH planning cycle at a very high level: surveillance, assessment, planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and policy development.  This program is offered at both the master’s (MPH) and doctoral (PhD) level.
