overview

To be considered for the 4-year MD/MPH program, you must first be accepted to the School of Medicine.

Applicants are reviewed independently by each school. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other, and neither admission depends on the other. Admissions for dual degree students follow the deadlines and requirements of each school.

MPH coursework begins the summer before matriculation to UTSOMSA. Registration is in April and online classes begin near the end of May. We do NOT recommend travel abroad unless you are certain you have reliable, hi-speed internet. Postponing coursework until spring of MS1 may put you at risk of not graduating on time.

The GRE requirement is waived for MPH applicants who are accepted to UTSOMSA. Applicants who, at the time of their UTSPH application, have not been interviewed or received an invitation for an interview at UTSOMSA must submit GRE scores in order to be considered for admission to the UTSPH.

Students accepted in the program will receive two letters of admission from the UTSPH, one to the MPH program and a second to the dual degree program.

UTHSCSA admits one class per year. Medical School (MS) admissions decisions are made as the applicants are interviewed from early August through mid‐December. Alternates are admitted up to the first day of medical school classes.

The UTSPH application includes a one‐page goal statement. It is very important that this essay specifically address the applicant’s experience and interest in combining public health and medical training.

The deadline for the MD/MPH program application is March 1st
