CSEB @WesternU

The mission of Western University’s Student Chapter of the Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics – CSEB @WesternU - is to facilitate professional development, continuing education and research dissemination for students and recent graduates of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

1. Provide students in epidemiology and biostatistics with opportunities to expand their knowledge by sharing their research through organized poster and oral presentations.
2. Engage student networking across multiple professional organizations within existing departmental relationships. These include CSEB host institutions, local organizations (e.g. health unit, CAMH) and other epidemiology and biostatistics research centres.
3. Promote interest in epidemiology and biostatistics in the broader Western community by enhancing students’ knowledge in the field, through sharing innovative research findings.
4. Provide opportunities for student collaboration across related scientific disciplines.
5. Build enthusiasm among current and prospective students in epidemiology and biostatistics.

CSEB@WesternU is excited to introduce undergraduate and graduate students to various professions within the private, not-for-profit, and government sectors of epidemiology and biostatistics. In this 8-part mini-series, we interviewed industry professionals who use their epi/biostats skills to support their clients and communities in meaningful ways. Individual interviews are approximately 15 minutes long and can be accessed here:
