This information is for guidance only.
The requirements and progression rules for your study program will be in the Sydney Medical School Handbook.
The Clinical Epidemiology courses have primarily been designed for clinicians - doctors, nurses, and other health professionals - who want their decision making to be based on the best available evidence. Students entering the Clinical Epidemiology program are expected to have some clinical experience.
Options for distance or online students are available in Clinical Epidemiology Course Guide.
Course Structure
The Master of Clinical Epidemiology is offered as a
Master of Medicine (M.Med (Clinical Epidemiology)) for medical graduates, or a
Master of Science in Medicine (M.Sc.Med (Clinical Epidemiology)) for non-medical graduates.

Distance Learning in Clinical Epidemiology
It is now feasible to complete all levels of degree from graduate certificate through to masters by distance learning (via online and project based study). There is limited choice in the subjects that can be studied at distance but this will improve as more and more units develop online or other distance learning options.
The units of study that can currently be studied by distance at the Sydney School of Public Health are outlined in the Clinical Epidemiology Course Guide. Some students may opt to travel to Sydney for weekend workshops and the units of study currently offered by the School as workshops are also listed in the Course Guide.
Distance Learning study programs in Clinical Epidemiology need to consider non-clinical epidemiology elective unit limits i.e. a maximum of 6 credit points in non-clinical epidemiology electives for Masters students (for more information about non-clinical epidemiology online electives, see the Clinical Epidemiology Course Guide).
