Public and Population Health Leadership Concentration Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences
The Public and Population Health Leadership Concentration allows students to explore
social and systems-based aspects of the public health field against the backdrop of
a strong foundation in biomedical sciences. Students will learn to take a "whole-systems"
approach to population health leadership, collaborative styles of inquiry, data collection
and use, and evidence-based practice to inform decision-making. Concentration coursework
is delivered online and is available to students at all PCOM locations.
After completing foundation year coursework, students may progress to the second-year degree concentration in public and population
health leadership.
