McGovern Medical School and the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health (UTSPH) offer a pathway dual degree program leading to an MD degree and a Master of Public Health (MPH). The requirements established for the program meet the general requirements of both degrees with 12 shared credit hours. The curricula are integrated along a four- or five-year path to support student career objectives.

Students must meet the admission requirements of both schools to qualify for the MD/MPH program. Acceptance to UTSPH is accomplished by applying during the regular application cycles – deadlines are April 1 (for Summer/Fall admission) and October 1 (for Spring admission). To be considered for the four-year path, students must begin classes the summer prior to their first year of medical school and apply by April 1.
