clinical research master (biostatistics/epidemiology ): UCSF vs. Yale

[andyhawaii]

Hello everyone,

 

I have been fortunately accepted into a few good programs for my master application. I want to focus on epidemiology/biostatistics. Currently, I have narrowed down to two programs:

Clinical research master (offered by department of biostatistics/epidemiology) at UCSF and Advanced Professional MPH Program in Applied Biostatistics & Epidemiology at Yale.

I would like to do MD in future, also keeping an eye on for biotech/healthcare opportunities as such data scientist positions. I care about more future career advancement and money is not an issue, not sure how to choose btw the two. Right now I am opt to UCSF as my significant other is in the bay area, but there is little information that I can use to evaluate the quality of the TICR (training in clinical research). The website of TICR is terrible.

 

Thank you for any advice.
