Public Health Medicine Program

Leading to dual Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health (M.D./M.P.H.) degrees.

The Public Health Medicine program (PHM) is part of the Public Health Practice Major. The program allows current medical students to combine their studies with a public health degree that will increase their understanding of population-based science and the cultural and environmental factors that affect patients.

The classroom requirements of the M.P.H. are completed during a 12 month sabbatical (May through May) from medical school while enrolled full time in the School of Public Health. Most students begin the M.P.H. program after year two of medical school.

This major offers academic programs at the master's level that prepare students to be leaders and practitioners in the application of public health principles in agencies delivering preventive health services and public health programs.
