would like to invite you to register and attend this conference.

Public health is the science and art of protecting and improving the health of communities through
education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention. Careers in
public health address health disparities in communities throughout the world, and this conference

and DrPh: dual degree programs including the MD/MPH, MSN/MPH, DDS/MPH, MBA/MPH

- Discuss the admissions process and financing your education

- Provide helpful insight on Graduate Record Exam (GRE) preparation

- Discuss the paid Summer Residential Enrichment Program (SREP)
