The coordinated Public Health/Medicine degree program is offered through the UAB School of Public Health (SOPH) and the UAB Heersink School of Medicine. Students in this coordinated program earn an MPH with a concentration in Population Health. In this individualized concentration, students gain a solid foundation in public health through completion of the MPH core (based on the Evidence-based Public Health framework), an Applied Practice Experience (Internship), and an Integrative Learning Experience (Capstone). Students also select from among all master's-level Public Health courses (e.g., maternal and child health, chronic disease epidemiology, health policy) to build a unique curriculum that supports their career goals. Specialized advising is provided to assist students in designing their individualized curriculum.<br><br>This complementary MD/MPH coordinated degree program provides students with a richer perspective of community and global health issues, including the epidemiology of disease, health behavior, the impact of environmental and occupational factors on patient health, disease progression, and management of disease states, as well as social, legal and ethical issues affecting access to health care.
