MPH Population Medicine (Available Online)
The Population Medicine Program is designed to meet the needs of practicing health professionals who have experience in direct patient care and wish to augment their current careers with additional information and skills in population management. The students will be competent to analyze the health of a patient population and understand the social, environmental and biological determinants of health in that population.
Individuals who may benefit from this program are practicing health professionals, such as physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, and psychologists, and students who are currently enrolled in clinical practice-related doctoral degrees (e.g., M.D., D.O., D.D.S., Pharm.D.). This degree will provide clinicians with cutting edge knowledge and a skillset to integrate population-based health care approaches into their everyday clinical practice.
