The undergraduate and graduate programs offered by the Institute are noteworthy for the extensive opportunities offered to students to be involved in faculty research. Student opportunities to take part in diverse research programs are bolstered by both the training philosophy and emphasis on interdisciplinary research and collaborations in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences at Keck School of Medicine of USC. Across the Department, our postdoctoral researchers are training to assume the positions as tomorrow’s leaders in health promotion and disease prevention.
