MPH program celebrates 10 years

By Taylor Malmsheimer | October 24, 2012

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this fall, the Master's of Public Health program at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice focuses on training leaders who will analyze, organize and effect change in the public health and health care delivery sectors, according to Director Mark Splaine. While Dartmouth does not have a graduate school of public health, the master's of public health degree takes advantage of TDI's expertise in the public health care system and is well-aligned with the goals of TDI as an institution, Splaine said. "One of the areas TDI has focused on is understanding how to improve the health of a population, which is the essential element in thinking about public health," he said. The program, started in 2002, features two enrollment options a full-time, year-long program and a part-time option that lasts between two and three years.
