PH Student Stories

"When applying to medical school, I focused on MD/MPH programs because my passion for medicine has its roots in public health. I now have a health systems knowledge base with which to care for individual patients as well as their larger communities."

“The field of public health is incredibly dynamic and Tufts offers a variety of courses that may be outside your comfort zone. I found that venturing into unfamiliar territory was invaluable.”

Congratulations to this year's outstanding graduates!

"The interdisciplinary nature of the Public Health program at Tufts was a key factor in my decision. The emphasis on prevention rather than solely treatment of health issues offered by the Population Health Promotion concentration resonated with me."

Carly Amon Shares Her MD/MPH Experience

"I entered here thinking that biostatistics was going to be it for me, because I really like data analysis and number crunching. I didn’t expect epidemiology classes to spark my interest as much as they did, but I really enjoyed them."

Congratulations to this year's outstanding graduates!

"To me, working toward the master’s degree in public health has been a highlight of med school."
