Why You'll Love URMC
What Sets Us Apart
Flexible Curriculum
There is flexibility in the program, and it is not uncommon for residents to change tracks during training as their learning objectives and career goals evolve.
Our Residents
Our residents most commonly reference the personal relationships and valuable mentoring they receive as one of the top reasons why they would recommend URMC.
Life of a URMC Resident
Our emphasis on work/life balance is an important reason residents choose URMC. A focus on trainees well-being enables you to learn and thrive in Rochester.
What our residents say...
"If you have more than a passing interest in disease prevention and public health policy, you are looking at the place that will give you the skill set to position yourself correctly going forward in your chosen field.
This program allows you a 'structured' space to explore your interests and stretch yourself in a way most programs do not."

Charlotte Caldwell, Derek Guo and Olivia Waysack joined the University of Rochester four years ago as first year undergraduate students in our Health and Epidemiology Advanced Learning (HEAL) combined degree program. Charlotte will continue her studies in the Master's in Public Health (MPH) program, whereas Derek and Olivia are obtaining a Master's degree in Epidemiology. Welcome, we are excited to have you!

#HEAL #URochester #urmc #publichealthOnce again, we are proud to announce that the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program at the Department of Public Health Sciences has received it’s annual accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), “An independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health, and public health programs outside schools of public health.”
Each and every year, our MPH program grows better because of the increasingly diverse experiences that our students bring to the classroom. Current students—feel free to comment on your experiences in the MPH program! What would you recommend prospective applicants prepare as they begin on their own MPH journeys?
