Study Abroad programs in Epidemiology

With the memories of COVID-19 still fresh in our collective minds, the US-based Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) were two powerful bodies that became part of our daily conversation. They made mistakes that they openly admit to. Mistakes that we need to learn from.

In the award-winning 1995 film Outbreak, starring Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo, Russo’s character Dr. Robbie Keough, works as an epidemiologist for the CDC (Centre for Disease Control). Based on real life events in Robert Preston’s book ‘The Hot Zone’, the film captures how truly terrifying a contagion can be, if mistakes are made. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, epidemiology has never been more important in the fight against the next outbreak.

Studying epidemiology abroad with World Endeavours provides an excellent introduction to a career at the cutting edge of bio-science, where you can be part of the global solution.
