Joint degree students are
admitted simultaneously and may begin their
public health coursework during the Summer
before their M1 year. Concurrent public health
course work during the M1 through M3 years is
discouraged. However, SPH night or computer
courses might be allowed at the discretion of
the advisors (subject to approval of the COM
program governing body or Senior Associate Dean
and the SPH Associate Dean for Academic Affairs)
for select students who have established
excellent academic standing in both the
College of Medicine and School of Public Health
An
example of progression through the joint degree
MD/MPH program follows:
YEAR 1

Transferring into MD / MPH joint degree program from individual degree programs:
Students who enter either of the individual degree programs and later decide to transfer into the joint program may do so before entering their second year of study if they meet the admissions requirements of the other degree program.
Advising joint degree program students:
Students in the joint program will have two advisors, one from the College of Medicine faculty and one from the
divisional School of Public Health faculty, to assist the student with each respective program. Joint advisors will ensure that the students
understand the program requirements and any course sequence requirements. They will also suggest electives appropriate to the students’ interests.
Leaving the program before the requirements for the joint degree is complete:
Students who leave after completing the necessary hours for one of the degrees, either
the MD or the MPH, but before completing the joint MD/MPH, will receive the former degree. Most students completing
solely the Master of Public Health would be required to satisfy requirements of a comprehensive MPH program.

*Courses meet both CON and SPH/CHS degree requirements
** Field Experience
The field experience may be waived on an individual basis
based upon a student’s demonstration of a Bachelor’s or advanced degree in a health or related
profession plus 3 years of paid public health experience. A prior professional degree without public health
experience; or prior work experience that is not closely related to the academic objectives of the student’s
degree program; are not sufficient reason for waiving the practice requirement. If petitioning to waive the field
practicum, please attach supporting documentation including a resume and letter explaining relevant public health experiences
and how these experiences relate to the field practicum learning objectives found in the SPH student handbook.
*** CHS Capstone Requirements
Learning Objectives of Capstone Requirement:
The culminating capstone experience enables MPH students to achieve the following learning objectives:
- Apply key public health concepts (e.g., prevention, risk assessment) to a specific public health
area (e.g., gerontology, infectious disease epidemiology).
- Apply knowledge of the core areas of public health to a specific health problem.
- Integrate skills and knowledge gained through core and division-required courses toward resolving a public
health problem either through practice in a public health setting or through investigation and analysis.
Required Courses:
All students must complete the following two course requirements:
- IPHS 650 Field Experience in Public Health (3-5 SH)
- IPHS 698 MPH Capstone Experience (1 SH)
Capstone Requirements:
IPHS 650 Field Experience in Public Health - Most students are required
to complete a field experience of 5 credits (320 contact hours). Some students may qualify for a reduced practicum of 3 credits
(192 contact hours) or a full waiver depending on their prior public health experience and career goals.
All students are required to submit reflective
journal entries to their faculty advisor to evaluate student performance. The reflective journal helps
the student to synthesize the experience and to assess how the skills and knowledge gained during graduate
study can be applied and integrated in a public health setting.
Master’s Paper and Oral Presentation- Each student is required
to complete a Master’s Paper and make an oral presentation of his/her work. In addition to the required IPHS 698, students
may take up to two hours of Independent Study (IPHS 596) credit toward their Master’s Paper.
The purpose of the Master’s Paper is for the CHS student to be able to
integrate health principles and knowledge of some aspect of the public health field at the end of the student’s study period.
The paper may be drawn from previous course work and may incorporate results of a community survey, an analysis of secondary data, a
literature review, an environmental impact statement, a grant proposal, a position paper, a program evaluation, etc.
NOTE: Students who are doing research involving human subjects will need to undergo
training and have their protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Evaluation / Grading Procedures:
The CHS capstone experience will be evaluated in four ways:
- Evaluation of the field experience/practicum by the student, student’s practicum preceptor, and faculty advisor
- Evaluation of the Master’s Paper by the student’s advisor and a second faculty member
- Evaluation of the oral presentation by the faculty in attendance
- Review by the advisor and a second faculty member to assure the practicum and Master’s Paper together meet the capstone goals as established

Transferring into DVM / MPH joint degree program from individual degree programs:
Students who enter either of the individual degree programs and later decide to transfer into the joint program may do so before entering their second year of study if they meet the admissions requirements of the other degree program.
Advising joint degree program students:
Students in the joint program will have two advisors, one from the College of Veterinary Medicine faculty and one from the Epidemiology faculty, to assist the student with each respective program. Joint advisors will ensure that the students understand the program requirements and any course sequence requirements. hey will also suggest electives appropriate to the students’ interests.
Leaving the program before the requirements for the joint masters is complete:
Students who leave after completing the necessary hours for one of the degrees, either the DVM or the MPH, but before completing the joint DVM/MPH, will receive the former degree. Most students completing solely the MPH would be required to satisfy requirements of a comprehensive MPH program.

MD/PhD
Training Program
Our
society has a need for physicians who are accomplished
population-based researchers as well as competent clinicians
-- individuals whose skills can bring the powers of
epidemiology and biostatistics to bear on the problems
of clinical medicine that have both individual and community
effects. MD/PhD training in epidemiology and/or biostatistics
provides an extended period of study in the etiologic
and methodologic approaches of population-based health
research in concert with complete medical school education.
Application is normally made at the time of application
to the College of Medicine; however, applicants will
also be considered during their first two years of medical
training. Students must apply to the MD/PhD Training
Program and to the College of Medicine, and indicate
in their application that they are interested in a PhD
in epidemiology or biostatistics. Criteria for admission
to the Program include academic excellence, prior research
experience, potential for independent and creative research,
and commitment to a career in academic medicine. Students
receive a stipend throughout their years of study. Students
interested in further information may contact Dr. Faith Davis, Senior Associate Dean, SPH, phone: 996-5019, e-mail:fayed@uic.edu;
or the MD/PhD Training Program: Dr. Larry Tobacman,
Director, phone: 312- 413-1010, e-mail:
