Integration of Public Health - Physician Assistant/Master of Public Health (PH-0229)

Fall 2024 · PH 0229 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree supports PA students’ clinical understanding of the individual with a population-based perspective. The Tufts PA/MPH dual degree requires an integration course for students to engage with a dual awareness regarding health issues and a breadth of knowledge and understanding that prepares them to fill unique and often influential roles in the health care system. Integration of Public Health facilitates the learning of how students’ public health work connects with their clinical studies. Therefore, PA/MPH students participate in the integration course over their three years at Tufts University. Students join the integration cohort in their first semester of their MPH year and complete the course in the final semester of their clinical year. The course also supports a close mentoring structure between course directors and PA/MPH students.
