The program includes a course on Applied Artificial Intelligence in Public Health, which explores the potential of artificial intelligence to transform the field of public health by enabling more efficient and effective disease surveillance, prevention, and control. Another unique course in our program is on Public Health Genomics and Personalized Prevention, which examines the role of genomics in public health and the development of personalized interventions for disease prevention and treatment. By offering these distinctive courses, our program provides a competitive advantage to students interested in pursuing a PhD in public health, and offers a fresh perspective on the most pressing issues in the field. Through these courses and others, we aim to train a new generation of public health professionals who are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to address the complex challenges facing the UAE and the world at large.
