Overview

M.D./MPH Program Application

MPH Program

Eastern Virginia Medical School, in cooperation with Old Dominion University, offers an M.D./MPH dual degree program for students who have been admitted to Eastern Virginia Medical School. The program takes five years to complete. At the end of that time, students will receive both Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health degrees.

Medical school provides skills and knowledge to diagnose and treat individual patients. The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree supplements that medical education by providing physicians with skills in population-based research, design and evaluation of health promotion and disease prevention programs, and management of the health care delivery system. The public health program focuses on the diseases, health status, and system of health care delivery for population groups.

Educational Format

Three pathways exist for completion of the degree. The student chooses which best meets his/her needs.

  • Epidemiology includes courses in study design, use of data from small and large populations, disease and injury surveillance and control, survey methods, biostatistics, and outcomes research.
  • Health Management/Policy includes courses in health care strategies, politics and policy, program evaluation, process improvement in health care, and human resource management.
  • Environmental Health includes study of environmental biology, regulations, policy and management.

Class Schedule

Public health courses are taught in the evenings or on Saturday and do not conflict with the medical school courses. Classes are held on the campuses of EVMS and Old Dominion University.

Tuition (may increase proportionately with inflation)

  • In-state: Students pay the in-state medical school tuition yearly and pay $609 per credit hour for each MPH course taken.
  • Out-of-state: Students pay the out-of-state medical school tuition and pay $609 per credit hour for each MPH course taken.
