Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program
The Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) is launching a new Advanced Professional
M.P.H. Program, which is designed to accommodate, among others, busy health
professionals in the academic world.
The Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program will take fewer than 11 months to complete.
It will begin in early July with an intensive seven-week summer session and conclude
in early May after fall and spring semesters of full-time study.
The new program will provide rigorous public health training to individuals with
a doctoral-level degree in a field related to public health. Medical students
who have completed their third year in an accredited medical school in the United
States are also eligible for this program.
The program will offer three different areas of concentration: Applied Biostatistics
and Epidemiology, for students interested in clinical or public health research
methodology; Social and Behavioral Sciences, for those interested in social,
psychological and behavioral influences on health, and in developing health promotion
and disease prevention programs; and Health Policy and Administration, for those
interested in health policy and evaluation or in health services.
The summer session, the first ever offered at YSPH, will cover the core areas
of biostatistics, epidemiology and health policy, laying the groundwork for students
to take more advanced courses in the fall and spring semesters.
In addition, summer courses will be open to students in the M.S. in Chronic Disease
Epidemiology Program, which is designed for students who want to enhance their
research, data analysis and study design skills, but do not desire broad training
in public health. Students may now meet the biostatistics prerequisite for entering
this program by taking the summer biostatistics course, so that the M.S. in Chronic
Disease Epidemiology may now be completed within the same timeframe as the Advanced
Professional M.P.H. Program.
Yale School of Medicine fellows, residents and faculty who are not matriculated
in a YSPH degree program may also apply for enrollment in summer courses.
To be selected for participation in the Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program,
students must be mature, highly motivated and energetic; have clear goals; and
possess high potential for leadership in public health. Applicants are encouraged
to apply early since enrollment is limited. The application deadline is Jan.
15. For further information visit http://publichealth.yale.edu or contact Dr.
