Here is what our students say
about the MD/MPH Program
Francesca Decker, MPH Class of '09: "I'm doing the 4 year concurrent degree which is very challenging, but I'm also very excited about having it all done in four years. I think it's going to be a real benefit for residency."
Simon Fitzgerald, MPH Class of '09: "I think that the MPH gives me the tools in which to be able to understand how to organize medical resources on a community level, especially for underserved communities."
Elisabeth Lessenich, MPH Class of '09: "It's truly very easy to combine these two degrees at Downstate. The MPH advisors help you tailor the program and help you so you can combine classes and field work to get exactly what you want out of this."
Malini Persad, MPH Class of '07: "I considered the combined MD/MPH Program as one of the most positive academic experiences I have had."
