The Summer Session is intended for current and incoming HSPH degree students, as well as health professionals in training or those who are considering a mid-career change into public health and feel the need to strengthen their skills. Participants include public health professionals, primary care practitioners, physicians engaged in the evaluation of health care delivery and management, physicians in training (including preventive medicine residents and medical students in an MD/MPH joint degree program), and candidates for a part-time MPH program.
During the 2011 Summer Session, over 500 students from across the U.S., Asia, Canada, Europe, and Latin America attended the School. More than 60 percent of those students were physicians; others included mid-level managers, lawyers, other health professionals, and graduate students.
By taking courses in the Summer Session, current HSPH students and students accepted for admission to a 2012 degree program may have greater flexibility in their course selection during the regular academic year.
