Epidemiology

In February 2010, the Department launched the Columbia University Epidemiology Grand Rounds (CUEGR) lecture series. Quickly established as one of the prominent programs on the CUMC campus, the monthly series hosts global leaders in epidemiology who share their ground-breaking work with the Department’s faculty and students, as well as with the Columbia community at-large.

CUEGR lectures present a broad range of topics and foster academic exchange around key issues in epidemiology. In addition, the series helps forge important links between the Department  and leading figures and programs in epidemiology throughout the world.

CUEGR lectures are held on Wednesday from 4:00-5:30 p.m. in the 8th Floor Auditorium, unless otherwise indicated.

Beyond a Lecture

While providing world class academic presentations, the CUEGR program also facilitates significant dialogue. All events, which are open to the public, consist of a 45-minute lecture followed by a 45-minute discussion period, in which audience members are encouraged to participate. Moreover, speakers are invited to spend the day at Columbia with ample time to engage faculty and students prior to the lecture. This intimate format maximizes the experience for both guests and Mailman School participants and can include visits with journal clubs and other groups on campus, lunch, etc.
