Combined Degrees

MPH/DPM Combined Degree

The College of Podiatric Medicine has partnered with the College of Public Health to offer a combined MPH/DPM degree. Students are exposed to an interdisciplinary curriculum that supplements and expands skills needed to practice in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving healthcare system. The innovative coursework prepares students to address public health risks and develop effective health services delivery models. It is an interdisciplinary program that incorporates health services research, health policy analysis, and health care planning and management. Given the active research of the college’s faculty in identifying service gaps and in developing evidence-based practices and policy analysis, students emerge with strong skills in health services management, alternative models of service financing and strategies for improving services.

MBA/DPM Combined Degree

This combined program will develop podiatric physician leaders, skilled in both podiatric medicine and health care management. This skillset may be valuable in overseeing private/group practices or as you serve in a role as a hospital executive or administrator.
