“I earned an MSc in Epidemiology at HSPH through the Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE), a life changing experience for me. I took advantage of the flexibility PCE offers to practicing clinicians and completed the program during my residency. I enjoyed the fast pace and the hands-on experience in studying and practicing epidemiology. And I particularly appreciated the interaction with motivated bright students and exceptionally gifted faculty (among the many of them, I have to mention Prof. Fran Cook by name), as well as the international environment.”
