The Graduate Program in Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers training in public health research and practice. Our program resides within a world-class school of medicine and academic health system, providing a setting where barriers for collaboration are broken down, allowing students to connect science, medicine, public health and health care delivery.

The program offerings include a Master of Public health (MPH) degree, an advanced certificate program, and several dual degree programs: MD/MPH, MPH/MSW with Fordham’s Graduate School of Social Service and a DPM/MPH with the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.  The program is fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) and is a founding member of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH). 

The mission of the Graduate Program in Public Health is to educate our graduates to prevent disease, protect the environment, and promote good health in partnership with the populations they serve. Areas of specialization include Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Global Health, Epidemiology, Health Care Management, Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Biostatistics, and Outcomes Research. Students undertake didactic coursework, a practicum experience, and a Master’s thesis or Capstone project that provide a knowledge base in the core competencies of public health. Our graduates pursue careers in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, departments of health, international organizations and industry, and work in basic public health practice, management, education and research.
