IIHMR Master of Public Health Admissions 2013
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) Master of Public Health degree program to be offered in Jaipur, India in cooperation with the Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR) will focus on public health capacity building in developing countries. The program is intended for citizens and residents of India and low and middle income countries in the region. The curriculum is designed to cultivate students’ health management skills so that they will be prepared to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of public health programs and services. This program will prepare professionals for challenging careers in managerial positions in public health for both public and private sectors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and national and multinational organizations. The collaboration between JHSPH and IIHMR will enable students to benefit from JHSPH’s track record of excellence in teaching public health courses and IIHMR’s expertise as a health management research institute in South East Asia. Coursework will involve a mix of both in-person and on-line classes (including a practicum experience and a capstone exercise), adding up to a total of 80 credits. Courses will be taken at the campus of the Indian Institute of Health Management Research in Jaipur, India.
The full-time Master of Public Health degree program will consist of 1 year of didactic coursework plus 1 year of practical training. Classes will begin October 26, 2013 at the Indian Institute for Health Management Research in Jaipur, India. In January 2014 students will travel to Baltimore, Maryland for two-weeks of classes at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. It is expected that classwork will end in late October 2014; this will be followed by practical training in the workplace. The Program offers students the unique opportunity to attend the same academically rigorous courses offered at JHSPH in Baltimore, MD with a convenient venue at the IIHMR.
The deadline for candidates to submit applications to the MPH program is August 1, 2013.
