Introduction
The world is not prepared to face a pandemic, and beyond knowing if it will happen or not, it is a question of when it will happen. For this reason, the role that epidemiologists play is so important within the health unit and at certain government levels and public policy generation, because they have disciplinary information that allows them to observe health problems from a population and circumstantial perspective, which gives them a broad understanding of the issues that affect the world.
The profound sociodemographic and migratory changes make greater academic training necessary; At AREANDINA we take on the challenge of improving the profile of professionals in the health sector and for this, the master's degree in Epidemiology provides conceptual and technological tools that allow the analysis of evidence for decision-making on health problems, at an individual and collective level, based on of the foundations of epidemiological surveillance and research, with the aim of optimizing public policies to have a better response capacity.
