An opportunity for credits toward a Master's Degree in Public Health
Longitudinal and integrated Behavioral Science curriculum
3-month structured curriculum in social medicine:
PGY1-Orientation to Social Medicine
PGY2-Epidemiology and Community Medicine
PGY3-Health Systems
Bi-weekly Social Medicine rounds
Longitudinal Social Medicine projects
Electives in global health, liberation medicine/ health and human rights, reproductive health
Of the over 600 physicians trained in the RSPM since 1970, the majority still work in underserved communities.
