Overview

The Executive Public Health Practice program at the University of Minnesota is designed for professionals with an advanced degree, such as an MD, DDS, DVM, PharmD, PhD, MS, JD, or public health professionals with significant work experience who have completed the School’s Public Health Core Concepts Certificate.

Careers

The goal of many of the students is to become more effective in their current profession. Others enroll in this program to advance their career, for example to move from clinical practices to leadership roles in the public health field or to add a public health component to their current work.

Some students envision working in local, national, and international health agencies/organizations. Others seek to enhance their skills to work in regulatory agencies or to redirect their clinical skills to the health needs of populations (i.e., underserved people). The educational backgrounds of our students are varied and include the disciplines of education, law, medicine, nutrition, pharmacy, public health, psychology, dentistry, chiropractic and veterinary medicine.

Many students will use their public health knowledge and skills to enhance effectiveness and opportunities in their current work or career path. This major emphasizes an applied interdisciplinary (One Health) approach to address current societal problems and concerns.
