MPH for Practicing Veterinarians

February 25, 2015 — 

The University of Iowa College of Public Health, in collaboration with the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University offers a primarily distance-based Master of Public Health Program. The program is designed for practicing veterinarians looking for a career change or to enhance their ability to become board certified in Veterinary Preventive Medicine. The MPH will provide veterinarians with new opportunities in local, state and federal health, agricultural and environmental agencies, colleges and universities, private sector food industry, the military and international public health organizations.

Applications for the next cohort of students are due March 1, 2015 and courses will begin with an in-person 2-week summer session in Iowa City from May 31- June 12, 2015. The second summer session will be in Ames in late May or early June 2016. The rest of the time, courses are taken via the Internet.
