Designed with the working health practitioner in mind, the Postgraduate Diploma in Health Research and Epidemiology (HREP), an online/blended programme, offers the learning flexibility and convenience that many health professionals need but which is often not offered by other graduate programmes. Upon completion, graduates will be awarded a fully accredited diploma. Students will also have the option to transfer credits before completion of the programme to other graduate programmes offered by the Caribbean Institute for Health Research (CAIHR) such as the MSc in Epidemiology.
