Department of Community Health

Chair

The Department of Community Health offers multidisciplinary programs in population-based medicine and health, with particular strengths in epidemiology, biostatistics, health care research, public health, health policy, international health, gerontology, and in the clinical areas of primary care and prevention. The Department works collaboratively with Alpert Medical School and University academic departments and across University-based and hospital-based research centers. Community Health is the academic home of the Program in Public Health, which encompasses Brown's ten nationally-renowned public health research centers.

In addition to a popular undergraduate concentration that is one of the top-ranked programs in the country, the Department offers course work leading to master's and doctoral degrees in epidemiology and biostatistics, as well as a PhD in health services research. A Master of Public Health degree program is dedicated to developing skilled professionals who are committed to improving the health of communities by translating scientific research into public health policy and practice.
