MD/MPH & DDS/MPH Degree Programs

The MD/MPH and DDS/MPH are concurrent degree programs in which Stony Brook University medical and dental students complete their MPH degree during medical or dental school (4 year program) or during medical or dental school and an additional year (5 year program).  All requirements of the MPH and MD or DDS degrees are met.  Up to four medical students and two dental students each year are awarded full MPH tuition scholarships for their four year MD or DDS programs.  These tuition scholarships do not cover a fifth year of MPH study.

You will need the following  information if you decide to apply for admission to both the Graduate Program in Public Health (GPPH) and the School of Medicine (SOM) or School of Dental Medicine (SDM):

• The application process for the GPPH is separate from the application to the Stony Brook SOM of SDM. Admission to one program is determined independently from admission to the other; and admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other.
• 
  
• To avoid the need to send support documents to both programs, Stony Brook SOM or SDM applicants who also apply to the GPPH may request in writing that the SOM or SDM provide to the GPPH a copy of their support documents including MCAT or DAT scores, official transcripts from all post-secondary schools, and letters of recommendation for their application for admission to the GPPH. 


• SOM and SDM applicants who apply to the GPPH must provide one additional reference that addresses the applicant's public health leadership potential.
