Implementation and prevention science is an interdisciplinary field. The more broadly you are trained, the more effective you will be as an independent statistical researcher as well as a collaborator.

One of the following:

• BIS 536 Measurement Error and Missing Data - 1 unit
• BIS 537 Statistical Methods for Causal Inference - 1 unit
• BIS 631 Advanced Topics in Causal Inference - 1 unit

At least two of the following:

^ Indicates highly recommended for implementation science specialization

• EMD 538 Quantitative Methods for Infection Disease Epidemiology - 1 unit
• HPM 570 Cost-effectiveness Analysis and Decision Making ^ - 1 unit
• HPM 586 Microeconomics for Health Policy and Management - 1 unit
• HPM 587 Advanced Health Economics - 1 unit
• HPM 611 Policy Modeling ^ - 1 unit
• CDE 516 Principles of Epidemiology II - 1 unit
• CDE 534 Applied Analytic Methods in Epidemiology - 1 unit
• SBS 574 Developing a Health Promotion and Disease Prevention ^ - 1 unit
• SBS 541 Community Health Program Evaluation^ - 1 unit
• SBS 580 Qualitative Research Methods in Public Health^ - 1 unit
• SBS 676 Questionnaire Development - 1 unit
• S&DS 565 – Introductory Machine Learning (alternate Yale courses in DATA Mining and Machine Learning will be considered) - 1 unit

• BIS 649/650 Master’s Thesis Research (strongly recommended for this specialization in lieu of BIS 681) - 2 units

Students take 4 courses for credit each semester (BIS 525/526, EPH 600, EPH 100/101 are not for credit). Course schedules with more than 5 courses for credit will not be approved. Courses listed without a notation in the “term taken” column can be taken in either year if prerequisites are met and with advisor approval.
