In a partnership between Cornell University’s Graduate School, Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, and Master of Public Health Program, WCM medical students can pursue an advanced degree in Cornell’s innovative MPH program. This hands-on master spans 12 months, starting in May and ending the following May, and has been thoughtfully designed with an understanding of the WCM medical school curriculum. The core MPH curriculum provides students with the skills, tools, and foundational knowledge to become general public health practitioners, while concentrations allow students to select one specialized area for additional study.
This program, conducted at Cornell’s Ithaca campus, is designed for medical students to complete between their third and fourth Year of M.D. studies, and the program would start after Areas of Concentration Block 1. The MPH Program application deadline as listed on their Admissions website is April 1. M.D. applicants should choose the accelerated option.
