Overview
The MD/MPH program combines the complete medical school training with a solid foundation in public health, providing students with the clinical skills and science to address health and wellness from the perspective of the individual patient, as well as the community and population. This knowledge and training prepares our graduates with a multidisciplinary perspective when caring for individual patients and understanding the connection between each patient and the health of their community.
Admission Requirements
Application for admission to the MD/MPH program must be made separately to the MD program and the MPH program. Applicants must file a Declaration of Intent to Pursue a Combined Degree form with both colleges prior to starting their first semester in the MPH program.
Applicants must possess the minimum of a US baccalaureate degree to be considered for admission. Applicants who anticipate completion of their undergraduate degree soon after the admissions deadline may apply for conditional admission. If granted conditional admission, a final transcript from the student’s baccalaureate institution must be received by the Office of Student Affairs prior to the date of registration of the admitted semester.
Required Courses
Students in the MD/MPH program will follow the degree track planner for their chosen MPH concentration: Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, Health Behavior and Health Education, Health Policy and Management, or Climate, Rural and Global Public Health.
