Writing and Publishing a Scientific Paper
Writing and publishing a scientific paper is an NIH-based practical course on scientific writing in biomedical disciplines, with a focus on - but not limited to - public health and epidemiology.

Doctorate
Study and research enable science to continue to make new discoveries. For this reason, IPH considers doctoral training a focal point for scientific research in the world of public health and offers a Doctor of Public Health program.
The Institute makes its professors and researchers available to support students' academic growth, including through the opportunity to take an active part in research projects on a national and global scale.
Developing skills in analysis, data collection and management are just some of the program's focuses.
The IPH addresses public health across the board: epidemiology, population aging, the relationship between the market and health, health communication, etc. This allows the doctoral student to delve deeper and contribute to research in the topic that is most of his or her interest.
The Doctorate in Public Health is organized in accordance with the doctoral regulations of the USI Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, the Faculty of Communication, Culture and Society and the Faculty of economics.
