Department Description

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (DEB), housed within the UCSF School of Medicine, has a vision to advance discoveries and insights into the distribution, determinants and outcomes of disease that will drive improvements in population health worldwide. The DEB has three missions: 1) education, 2) science, and 3) research. Its educational mission is to train students in epidemiologic and biostatistical methods for studying disease etiology and prevention, evaluating tests and treatments, and using evidence-based approaches in clinical practice and population health. The scientific mission of the DEB is to perform outstanding basic, clinical and population health research along a spectrum from molecules to society and to develop tools for the translation of knowledge that will improve clinical practice and population health and ensure optimal use of resources. The clinical mission of the Department is to support the practice of public health and preventive medicine in local, state, national and international health agencies.

The RISE program is consistent with this mission, and focuses on developing scientists from underrepresented groups in medicine to address health disparities related to heart and lung diseases using implementation science methods. The program recruits 10-13 URM scholars annually, and involves a 2-week summer institute, followed by distance mentoring and works-in-progress seminars, and ending with a one-week summer institute one year later. The program also involves a small research grant program for which each cohort of scholars competes annually.
