McGill University's graduate programs have been offered since the 1960s and are known for their strong quantitative and methodological content, as applied to a variety of health areas. 

The university offers education and research training in the etiology, management and prevention of diseases, and the promotion of health. 

Areas of existing strength include clinical epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, cancer, cardiovascular, respiratory, perinatal, environmental, and occupational epidemiology, clinical trials, and health services research.
