Welcome to the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology (CHE) at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The Department is housed in Abramsky Hall on Queen's University's Main Campus.
The mission of the Department is to advance scientific knowledge relevant to research in community health and epidemiology, and to participate in the dissemination and application of scientific knowledge to the solution of health, health care, and health system problems. To achieve this mission, the Department contributes to undergraduate medical education in aspects of community health and epidemiology, and offers a thesis-based master?s degree in epidemiology. The goal of the Department?s contribution to undergraduate medical education is to foster an appreciation of the epidemiologic approach to medical data, and an understanding that the practice of medicine must be carried out with an awareness of the broad societal context which influences the development and outcome of disease. The goal of the graduate education program is to provide students with educational opportunities needed to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and methodological skills necessary to participate in applied or academic research in health services or epidemiology within the context of multi-disciplinary research teams.
