Other MPH Options

This program, which is conducted under the joint auspices of the School of Medicine and the School of Public Health, integrates the practice of medicine with public health by requiring completion of medical requirements, as well as general and comprehensive aspects of public health. Many individuals entering careers as medical doctors or public health practitioners wish to acquire not only medical practice competencies but also an understanding of the history, organization, goals and philosophy of public health. They graduate as professionals with a unique ability to draw from both credentials as they practice from a foundation of interdisciplinary education.

The course work for the two degrees is generally completed over five years. Typically, medical students complete the required public heath courses during the second and third years of the five-year program.Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Students may apply to the School of Public Health concurrently with or following their admission to the School of Medicine.
