## About

The MD/MPH dual degree program provides medical students with a population-based perspective on health and tools to address public health challenges. Two years of training from [Johns Hopkins School of Medicine](https://e-catalogue.jhu.edu/medicine/) or any accredited  U.S. medical school fulfill the two years of health-related work experience required for admission to the Bloomberg School MPH program.

Medical students typically enroll in the MPH program between the 3rd and 4th year of medical school. Coursework must be completed in the 11-month, [full-time format](https://e-catalogue.jhu.edu/public-health/departments/master-public-health/#text).
