The School of Epidemiology and Public Health aims to bring together applied health researchers in the areas of epidemiology, clinical sciences, public health, health policy and systems, global health, risk assessment, and implementation science to create an interdisciplinary and inclusive research platform that will be a significant impact on the health of populations and patients. These goals will be achieved through collaborations with the research institutes and community partners and research enabling platforms such as large administrative databases and method centers. The vision of the School is to be recognized as a leading contributor to research, teaching and professional training. At the local level, it aims to improve patient and population health outcomes in the population laboratory of Ottawa and surrounding regions. More broadly, it carries out research on the determinants of health and disease etiology and on the development, implementation and evaluation of practices, programs and policies aimed at optimizing health and social services.
