Epidemiology programs require substantial quantitative skills. The Admission Committees for these programs will look for proof of quantitative proficiency such as good grades in undergraduate-level courses in differential or integral calculus or in statistics. Although the GRE is not required, GRE results with a strong score (160+) in the Quantitative score may strengthen your application. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): 3.0/4.0 overall or at least 3.2/4.0 over the last two years of study, based on GPA calculations done by the University.

| Comments on Program |
McGill Clinical and Health Informatics (MCHI) is a research group in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University. Research activities focus on the development and evaluation of health software and the analysis of data generated by these systems. The three research laboratories within MCHI are led by faculty members with appointments in the Departments of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Medicine, Surgery and Oncology. Robyn Tamblyn leads the clinical decision support lab, Ari Meguerditchian leads the cancer care quality lab, and David Buckeridge leads the surveillance lab. We offer the opportunity to complete a dual degree with the University of Bordeaux in France. These programs in Population Health Methods and Data Sciences, offer degrees in Public Health Data Science (MSc), or Digital Public Health (PhD) jointly with Epidemiology (MSc and PhD), Biostatistics (MSc and PhD), or Public Health (MScPH), at McGill. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
