}} The Doctor of Public Health (abbr. DrPH or DPH; Latin {{lang|la|Publica Sanitas Doctor}}) is a doctoral degree awarded in the field of public health. The DrPH is the highest, and terminal, professional degree in the field of public health. It prepares its recipients for a leadership career in advanced public health practice and administration. Many DrPH holders also hold positions in academia, including teaching and research. DrPH holders often occupy senior or executive leadership roles in private and public sectors (including municipal, state, and federal health agencies), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international health entities such as the World Health Organization. Comparison with Ph.D.A DrPH is a leadership-centered, interdisciplinary degree that equips its holders with the skill set necessary for public health practice as opposed to a Ph.D. which is purely research-oriented. The DrPH degree is categorized as a terminal professional degree similar to the Doctor of Education (EdD), Doctor of Social Work (DSW), Doctor of Medicine (MD), or Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degrees. [1] Admission Requirements DifferenceAdmission into a DrPH program usually requires a master of public health degree as a prerequisite. Furthermore, a DrPH requires several years of public health leadership and practice experience (generally, 5 years or more) for an admission. In contrast, one may enter a Ph.D. or ScD program after completing a bachelor (undergrad) degree with no experience or advanced academic training. Career Outcomes Training DifferenceDrPH: Leadership and public health practice, applied research, and academia to a lesser extent. Ph.D.: Research and academia. Typical Program StructureAdvanced Integrative CourseworkA typical accredited DrPH program requires roughly a two-year long intensive multidisciplinary coursework in advanced research methodology - similar to a Ph.D. Additionally, as a distinction and addition to a Ph.D., DrPH students also take advanced courses to gain analytical skills in leadership, management, systems thinking, communications, and health policy. Public Health Residency (Public Health Leadership Practice Experience)DrPH students are also required to complete a public health practice experience as a critical part of their DrPH program. Students apply the skills learned in public health practice to gain leadership experience and hone their skills through hands-on experience. Exams: Comprehensive and Qualifying ExamsMost universities require a rigorous comprehensive exam at the end of first two-years of coursework and public health residency before a candidate may be advanced to the dissertation phase. Some DrPH programs, such as the Tufts University, require a Qualifying Exam - taken at the end of the first year -, along with the comprehensive exam, taken at the end of the second year. DissertationDrPH students are required to complete and defend an applied public health practice-related dissertation during their candidacy phase, usually after the comprehensive exams, in order to complete the program. DrPH Completion TimeThe average time to complete a DrPH is roughly 4-7 years. Universities Offering DrPH DegreesUnited StatesSome of the universities offering DrPH in the USA are listed below.
