Doctor of Medicine/Master of Public Health

A degree in public health provides a broader lens through which to examine individual patient care. Physicians with a public health background look at how environments and community resources can contribute – or detract from – overall health and wellness. For example, easy access to tobacco or lack of access to safe drinking water or healthy foods can significantly impact the health of individuals and communities. At Loyola University Chicago, you can complete a dual MDMPH degree in five years.
