Overview

In the five-year Epidemiology MD/MPH dual degree program from Oregon Health & Science University, you will take foundational MPH coursework during the first two years of medical school. In the third year, you will focus full-time on the MPH in Epidemiology, with most of the year devoted to field experience, research, and community engagement. After completing the Epidemiology MPH, you will return to medical school with a broadened public health lens to complete the final two years of the MD program and plan for your career at the intersection of these two important fields.

The university offers an MPH in Epidemiology, a Ph.D. in Epidemiology, and a dual MD/MPH in Epidemiology.

All three Epidemiology graduate programs reflect the unique strengths of the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, including:

Small, intimate graduate programs that foster strong relationships between faculty and students, and a sense of community among graduate students.

A spirit of community engagement that encourages you to get involved and make an impact in real-world public health issues.

Groundbreaking epidemiology research exploring obesity, infectious disease, perinatal outcomes, injury/violence, aging, racial segregation, quantitative methods, and factors related to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease.

Robust partnerships and collaborations that connect you with neighborhood groups, nonprofits, government programs, healthcare systems, and other organizations that are actively involved in public health.

Close collaboration with OHSU’s healthcare practitioners and scientific researchers, as well as with PSU’s faculty experts in urban affairs, social work, environmental science, community engagement, and other fields.

A commitment to health equity and social justice.

Access to an expansive inventory of data sets, due in part to our broad partnerships with state and county health departments.
