Five-Year MD/MPH - Required Courses
The sequencing of coursework for the MD/MPH is flexible, however, an additional "MPH year" is necessary, during which the student would complete most of the required MPH courses and begin the MPH thesis. The student could then complete the MPH thesis and any remaining course requirements during the medical school years.
