MPH-Dental Surgery DDS Dual Degree
Offered at IU Indianapolis by Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health
About
Public health dentistry is focused on controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts, locally and globally. It is a dental practice that serves the community as a patient, rather than the individual.
Training in both dentistry and public health provides professionals with unique knowledge and skills that provide a broad, culturally sensitive, community-based perspective on issues related to health and social well-being.
This program prepares you with both a theoretical and a systems approach to solving complex health issues affecting populations of diverse communities.
Dental students interested in pursuing the joint MPH-DDS degree must apply and be admitted to the Fairbanks School of Public Health through the dual-degree application supplement. Once accepted, you will be asked to complete an IU application through the Online Graduate and Professional Admissions Application.
