Jane Morley Kotchen, MD MPH Professor & Interim Chair, Department of Population Health Director, Division of Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases in population groups. The field aims to identify factors that promote health and reduce the burden of disease in human populations. Epidemiologic methods are used to understand disease causation, elucidate the full spectrum of disease syndromes, identify the natural history of diseases, and assess interventions to ameliorate or prevent diseases.
