The QBS program seeks to train highly qualified students in bioinformatics, biostatistics, epidemiology, and health data science for careers in academia and industry. Students can apply to either the interdisciplinary PhD program or a Masters program with a concentration in Health Data Science or Epidemiology. The program is interdepartmental with numerous collaborations existing between QBS members and those in other Ph.D. programs at Dartmouth. Our philosophy is the modern biomedical researcher must be able to speak more than one language to successfully collaborate in a highly multidisciplinary environment. Students trained through QBS will be versed in bioinformatics, biostatistics and epidemiology. Each student works closely with a thesis advisor and has the opportunity to interact daily with other members of the program. Research rotations during the first year provide students the opportunity to explore diverse research interests and then make an informed decision when selecting a thesis lab.
