Program Overview

Introduction to the Master of Public Health Program

The Master of Public Health (MPH) program at Dartmouth is a 11-month residential program designed to equip students with the skills, vision, and support needed to drive meaningful change in public health and transform their careers.


Program Overview

The program focuses on experiential learning, allowing students to develop and pursue their individual interests in improving health and healthcare. Two culminating electives enable students to develop and execute their own individual projects with faculty support, focusing on a specific problem area or question.


Practicum Intensive

The practicum intensive is a key component of the program, where students in good academic standing can pursue an independent research project (integrative learning experience) and/or an independent internship (applied practice experience). Students employ systems thinking, qualitative and quantitative methods, and effective inquiry to develop actionable insights and feasible recommendations pertaining to their site.


Student Project Examples

Students produce an academic product (e.g., publishable paper, policy white paper, grant proposal) which they present to faculty and classmates. During these presentations, students learn from each other about a diverse array of public and population health sites and help each other improve their recommendations before presenting to their on-site preceptors.


Skills and Outcomes

The skills gained during the practicum enable students to develop or refine policy, generate new knowledge in a real-world setting, and, ultimately, improve health and healthcare.


Faculty and Staff

The program is led by experienced faculty and staff, including:


  • Roland Lamb, MPH, Residential MPH/MS Program Director
  • Alicia L. Battle, PhD, MCHES, Assistant Dean for Master of Public Health Programs

Alumni Career Stories

The program has a strong track record of producing successful alumni, including Dominique Lee, MPH’20, CEO of Planned Parenthood New England.
