Epidemiology and Medical Statistics is a multidisciplinary course that focuses on the study of diseases, their patterns, causes, and effects in populations, as well as the application of statistical methods to analyze medical and health-related data. It combines principles from public health, medicine, mathematics, and biostatistics to provide a scientific approach to understanding health outcomes.  

The course covers key topics such as disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, study design, risk factors, and the evaluation of interventions. Students learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret health data using statistical techniques to make evidence-based decisions. Statistical concepts such as probability, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and survival analysis are integral to the course, enabling students to assess the effectiveness of treatments, policies, and healthcare interventions.  

Epidemiology and Medical Statistics is essential for public health planning, clinical research, and policy-making. It is widely applied in fields such as infectious disease control, chronic disease management, environmental health, and health economics. Graduates of the course can pursue careers in research institutions, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and pharmaceutical industries, contributing to disease prevention, health promotion, and healthcare improvements.
