Bachelor's Degree
A public health degree offers a wider perspective for assessing patient care. Doctors trained in public health consider how surroundings and community assets influence health outcomes, either positively or negatively. For instance, the availability of tobacco products versus limited access to clean water or nutritious food can profoundly affect both individual and population health. Loyola University Chicago provides an opportunity to earn combined MD/MPH degrees within a five-year program.
