Public Health Certificate Program (PHCP)

Objective: To provide supplemental training to highly motivated, well qualified doctoral candidates who are interested in public health. This program will prepare students for careers in academic, industrial, and government institutions by providing training in population based approaches and applications for those with expertise in molecular, cellular, and biochemical sciences. Students will take four courses in public health in addition to their regular doctoral coursework and will participate in either a short-term (6 week) public health research project or independent study with a member of the MPH faculty for elective credit. It is anticipated that research questions related to the student's PhD research project will investigated during this independent study. 

The program would be available to students in any BGS graduate group, but it is expected that students in Immunology and in Cell and Molecular Biology's tracks in Cell Growth and Cancer, Gene Therapy and Vaccines, and Microbiology, Virology, and Parasitology would be particularly interested.
