UT School of Public Health and
Baylor College of Medicine
to Offer Dual Degree Program
Students studying to become doctors at Baylor College of Medicine will now have the opportunity to broaden their approach to patient care by earning a Master of Public Health degree from The University of Texas School of Public Health. The two institutions will offer the MD/MPH dual degree program, effective Sept. 1.
“It is a tremendous opportunity for both institutions to work with excellent students who want to further develop their approach to medicine and public health and want to have an impact at the community or population-level, whether that is local, national or international,” said Cynthia Chappell, Ph.D., professor and senior associate dean for academic affairs at the UT School of Public Health.
“This joint degree program will allow interested students to further their career path in both medicine and public health. BCM is enthusiastic about this new educational opportunity for its medical students,” said Stephen Greenberg, MD, senior vice president and dean of medical education at BCM.
