Applied Practice Experience (MD/MPH) (CMPH-0206)

Summer 2025 · CMPH 0206 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

For their core field experience, MD/MPH students complete a field placement (minimum of 200 hours) in a public, private, or volunteer public health practice organization during the summer following the first year of study. Students may choose from a prepared list of local, national, and international placements or arrange an alternative placement. Each student works with a public health practitioner/mentor on a project which is beneficial to the host agency. The summer field experience is designed to provide students with an opportunity to integrate their knowledge and develop their skills in a practitioner's environment. Students present their project to faculty and students upon completion of their eight-week experience.
