School, offers an
M.D./M.P.H. 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,

management of the health-care delivery system. The M.P.H. Program focuses on the
diseases, health status and system of health-care delivery for population groups.
