Vision of the Program: To be a leader in epidemiology and biostatistics with local impact and global significance Mission of the Program: To protect and improve the health of the people of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan. Through interdisciplinary research, we seek to understand the forces that affect health of the people and the delivery of health services. We prepare the next generation of public health practitioners, epidemiologist, health care managers and scholars. Collaborating with government agencies and other partners, we develop solutions to current and emerging public health problems. Introduction The healthcare chain stretches from prevention of illness, diagnosis and care, to cure and maintenance of good health. With its expanding connections with international trends, it is starting to cross national borders as well. The opportunities and need for research within this new healthcare dynamic are endless. The Masters in health research is designed for educating a new generation of healthcare researchers to be on the cutting-edge of healthcare innovation. There is an increasing need for research in the health sector, and increasingly health professionals are required to conduct research, evaluation, clinical audit and quality improvement activities as part of their practice. Current policy and practice developments are also placing greater emphasis on the Clinical Academic Career pathway and there are now many health professionals with a clinical/practice and research focus on their roles. These developments point to the need for rigorous, high-quality interdisciplinary and flexible research programs to prepare health professionals for these challenging and rewarding roles. The Master Health Research provides this. Emphasis on professional research skills MS Epidemiology and Biostatistics (MS Epi & Bio) degree program is designed to develop health research capacity among health care professionals with the purpose to promote research in health academic institutions and the health care system. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, students will also improve their practical research skills. So they will not only learn theory but will also learn how to conduct scientific investigations into these topics. They will practice all the stages of academic research, from systematic literature review, research hypothesis and question formulation, application of quantitative and qualitative methods, developing research project/proposals considering ethical and governance issues, data collection, management, analysis and interpretation of data using different quantitative & qualitative statistical tools, communicating research findings, and lead/ manage, foster research team and program. The program covers all essential and relevant subjects in direct contact sessions with students which include lectures, workshops, and tutorials and constantly challenging the students to enhance their learning and skills by giving them regular assignments and encouraging guided self learning. The assignments are specifically aimed at developing writing skills and critical appraisal of published literature. Students are encouraged to learn and apply a range of research approaches and skills relevant to health services and clinical problems in developing country setting. After you have completed the program, you'll have all the skills you need start on your scientific career. This program will give you a solid foundation in the interdisciplinary fields, frameworks and methods in socioeconomic, social, clinical epidemiological or global health research. Program Goal To develops skilled and knowledgeable multi-disciplinary health care researchers, able to understand and confidently use research techniques appropriate to their practice/subject area Program Objectives: i. To give a detailed and comprehensive understanding to the students, of health research ii. To enable students on how to apply a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods to current, pressing health issues and come up with solutions iii. To enable students to critically assess published research Outcomes: The graduate should be able to: 1. Conduct systematic literature review (literature search, appraisal, synthesize and analyze) 2. Formulate research hypothesis and question (focused, answerable) 3. Apply quantitative and qualitative methods to answer a research question/ test hypothesis 4. Plan/design a research study/project (considering study population, setting, outcomes, exposures) 5. Develop research project/proposals considering ethical and governance issues 6. Collection, manage and analyze data using different quantitative & qualitative statistical tools 7. Communicate research findings to a range of audience 8. Able to lead, manage, foster research team and programs
