This PFRH handbook describes the program of study for PhD students. It is based on the competencies for the program shown below and the 12 foundational learning objectives required for all programs in schools of public health by the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH). All PFRH PhD students should have a fundamental understanding of statistical methods and their application, epidemiology, research ethics, advanced research methods in a selected methodological area, expertise in an area of interest, as listed below, and the application of life course perspectives on health, demography, and population dynamics to this area of interest. They are also required to take four terms of the first-year doctoral seminar, two terms of the second-year doctoral seminar, and the PFRH Proposal Writing Seminar (until completion of the Preliminary Oral Examination).

The department’s current areas of interest include:

• Adolescent Health
• Child Health
• Maternal, Fetal, and Perinatal Health
