The University of South Florida, College of Public Health and the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine offer a MD/MPH dual degree to qualified applicants.  The College takes a multidisciplinary approach to Public Health – exploring social, behavioral, legal, medical and economic factors affecting public health.  Through classroom work, field experience and research projects, students and faculty tackle public health issues from the local level to global communities.

The MPH degree is a minimum of 42 credits in length and 9 credits are shared between the programs.  Therefore, USF MD/MPH dual degree students will enroll in a minimum of 33 total College of Public Health course credits. Students in the five year joint MD/MPH degree program may begin the MPH portion of the program at any time prior to the beginning of their fourth year in the MD program. Students are strongly encouraged to begin their MPH studies the year prior to entering the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.

 Dual Competencies

While students in the MD/MPH program will fulfill competencies specific to both of their medical and public health curricula, there are four competencies that bridge the two programs. These competencies enable students to apply public health principles in the assessment and translation of medical practice.

  1. Collaborate with others on health care teams and in the care of populations with an understanding of system based practice;
  2. Exemplify professionalism through attitudes and values;
  3. Demonstrate commitment to self analysis, lifelong learning and the teaching of others; and
  4. Utilize principles governing ethical interactions with patients and the public.
