Field Experience

What is the Field Experience?

The Field Experience (FE) is an opportunity for students to gain experience in the practice of public health. MPH students in the combined degree MD/MPH program are required to participate in an FE during the summer after the first year in the Program. MPH students in the freestanding program (effective Fall 2000) are also required to undertake an FE, which is recommended in the second year of their study.
