Public Health Concentration

Epidemiology

The Epidemiology Concentration at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Jember (FKM UNEJ) aims to equip students with in-depth knowledge and skills in understanding the patterns of disease distribution, determinants, and control in human populations. In this concentration, students will study various epidemiological research methods, data analysis techniques, and practical applications in the surveillance and control of infectious and non-infectious diseases. The main focus is on accurate data collection, statistical analysis, and result interpretation to develop effective intervention strategies for improving public health.

Through a comprehensive curriculum, students will engage with real-world case studies, simulations, and research projects that enable them to apply theory in practice. They will be trained to identify risk factors, evaluate health programs, and design and conduct epidemiological studies. Guided by experienced faculty and supported by adequate research facilities, graduates of the Epidemiology concentration are expected to contribute to disease prevention and control efforts at various levels, including government health agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private health sector. They will emerge as professionals ready to address global health challenges and play an active role in enhancing community quality of life.
