Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Epidemiology and Health Policy Research in the College of Medicine. Our mission is to advance the scientific knowledge necessary to promote health and improve health care outcomes and delivery.

We have a multidisciplinary faculty including epidemiologists, health services researchers, economists, psychologists, demographers, and biostatisticians. The department houses three divisions: Epidemiology (Division Director Currently Being Recruited); Health Policy/Outcomes Research (Division Director: Dr. Bruce Vogel); and Biostatistics (Dr. Keith Muller).

The department also houses two research service centers, the Research and Biostatistics Consulting Laboratory (RBCL) and the Research Data Coordinating Center (RDCC). The Department is closely affiliated with the Institute for Child Health Policy (ICHP), a free-standing research and policy unit whose faculty maintain joint appointments in Epidemiology and Health Policy Research.

Faculty in the department collaborate with colleagues in Departments and Colleges throughout the Health Science Center and broader University of Florida community.
