Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health
The one-year MPH degree, with a specialization in health services organization, is for students with prior doctoral-level degrees (MD, JD, PhD, or equivalent). This program allows students to build on existing expertise in the issues, skills and disciplines involved in the organization and analysis of health services. The exact length of the program and the nature of the field placement, if any, depend on the student's background.
Students who have recently completed a course that is equivalent to a core School of Public Health course may take a waiver examination. If the student passes the examination, he/she waives only the course requirement, not the units requirement needed for graduation.

Students who are not required to take Health Services 400 or waive out of Health Services 400 must take the departmental comprehensive examination. Students who fail may be reexamined once. The aim of the examination, as a culminating experience, is to assess the student's ability to select theories, methods and techniques from across the content matter of a field, integrate and synthesize knowledge and apply it to the solution of health delivery, policy and public health problems.
Before students begin their first quarter, they will be assigned advisors within the Health Services Department. Advisors approve students' course selections each quarter. He or she will also answer questions that students have about the School of Public Health or Health Services as a field. It is strongly suggested students make one 15-minute appointment with their advisors at the beginning of each quarter.
