Emergency Medicine / Masters of Public Health
The EM-MPH program at SUNY Downstate / KCHC is the only one of its kind. The categorical EM program enables two qualifying residents per year to obtain an MPH degree during their residency without extending the length of their training. This unique program was developed in 2004 in conjunction with our school of public health. It stretches the two year course-work over a period of four years as the residents complete their EM residency program requirements. Arrangements are made for these residents to work on their MPH obligations during light rotations or to arrange their schedule in such a way that their MPH projects do not interfere with their clinical duties.
The idea behind this program is two-fold. The EM-MPH program gives these residents a better understanding of the public health aspects of EM as well as fosters research and joint projects on the resident and departmental level between the EM physician and the school of public health.
