M.D./M.P.H. Program
The UT Medical School and the UT School of Public Health conduct a combined service/learning program leading to an M.D. degree and a Master of Public Health in Sciences degree. This program is sponsored and supported by the UT Medical School. The requirements established for the program meet the general requirements of both degrees. The curricula are integrated along a five-year path to support student career objectives. Allowing for completion of the basic sciences and the first clinical year, students generally enroll in the M.P.H. year after the third year of medical school. They return to the Medical School to complete the final year of required medical school clerkships, courses, electives, and the M.P.H. degree thesis during the fifth year.
Failure to meet either the M.D. or M.P.H. program requirements will result in dismissal from both programs.
Students must meet the admission requirements of both schools to qualify for admission to the M.D./M.P.H. Program. Acceptance to the SPH is accomplished by applying during the regular application cycle to the SPH in the winter prior to intended enrollment in the fall at the SPH. Up to 5 students each year may be selected for this pathway, and all are eligible for a tuition and partial living expenses scholarship for the year they are taking classes at the SPH. Those interested in the program should inquire through the Medical School Admissions Office or, after enrollment, through the Medical School Office of Educational Programs. |
