Clinical Epidemiology and Outcomes Program

Message from Our Chief

Welcome to the Clinical Epidemiology and Outcomes (CEO) Program, where we seek to advance science and healthcare by studying the distribution and determinants of health-related states, events, and outcomes in specific populations. Our investigators use a variety of data sources (claims and administrative databases, primary data collection), and methods to conduct cutting edge research in clinical as well as conventional epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, and recently genetic epidemiology.

The CEO program has a long tradition of innovative collaborative work, high impact publications, research grant funding and mentoring and career development. Our regular activities include a monthly journal club, a business meeting, bimonthly research meeting, and several project specific groups.
