Third, the case analysis
I believe everyone living in Sichuan knows Huaxi Hospital. Known as "North Concord, South West China", the history of west china hospital can be traced back to 1862. So Z's college background is very strong. In the process of communication, when I first started to understand the subject of preventive medicine, I was not sure about the curriculum and future field of this major; After full communication with Z, I realized that preventive medicine is not only a course of disease control, but also a branch of biostatistics and epidemiology. Therefore, when making the school selection plan, we fully considered these branches and determined the majors of each school in detail. PS: I also suggest that all students, especially those who apply for graduate students, communicate with consultants more about their major, major direction and employment direction, so that your consultants can be more directional when setting up schools.
We identified several schools in May of the next semester of junior year, and then began to write resumes and send magnetic emails. Finally, I got teachers from university of alberta and Xida University. Unfortunately, the teachers of West University could not receive students for other reasons, so I finally appointed a teacher with a master's degree in public health from the University of Alberta. After a round of magnetization, the final calibration is as follows:
University of alberta Biostatistics-Master of Public Health in Biostatistics
Mcgill University Epidemiology-Master of Science in Epidemiology
Queen's University Epidemiology-Master of Science in Epidemiology
Master of biostatistics-biostatistics epidemiology, University of Toronto
University of Western Ontario Epidemiology and Biostatistics-Master of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Among them, I want to remind students that when it comes to statistics, the school has requirements for mathematics and statistics. Please be sure to improve your statistical mathematics. Z When applying for university of alberta, the school asked us to make up the course descriptions of mathematics and statistics, which shows that the school attaches great importance to these two courses. After returning it to the school, I finally got the admission in June after a long wait.
