The Center for Biostatistics, in collaboration with the Department of Population Health Science and Policy, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), located in the heart of New York City, has launched a new Master of Science in Biostatistics program. The MS in Biostatistics at ISMMS is designed to prepare individuals for a career as data analysts and applied statisticians in the biomedical sciences. The program is directed at students whose goal is to work as a biostatistician in a clinical, research, or industry setting; or as a stepping stone to pursue a doctoral degree in Biostatistics or Epidemiology.
The distinctive design of this one-year, full time, MS program allows for rigorous and comprehensive didactic training in fundamental skills required for conducting high-quality clinical and translational research. The curriculum emphasizes strong quantitative training, critical thinking skills, and practical strategies for addressing complex challenges of novel, clinical research. Additionally, the small cohort size of approximately 5-10 students ensures that students have the opportunity to gain excellent mentorship and individualized attention from our stellar Center for Biostatistics faculty.
We would greatly appreciate if you could spread the word about this new MS program to your undergraduates (especially seniors) who might be interested. We are currently accepting applications for Fall 2015 enrollment. You can learn more about the program at: http://icahn.mssm.edu/MSbiostat .
