Profile

Roger H. Bernier, PhD, MPH, Editor and Publisher

Roger Bernier graduated from Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1966. In that year, he embarked on the first phase of a 40 year public health career with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. Roger entered graduate school at Yale in 1972 and earned an MPH in epidemiology in 1974. He immediately went on to the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and earned a PhD in epidemiology in 1978. He then returned to the CDC for the second phase of his career in the National Immunization Program where he retired in 2010. Dr. Bernier launched The Epidemiology Monitor in 1980 after finding it difficult as a graduate student to get vital information about developments in epidemiology at other schools and in the field in general.
