Application Procedure

The student must submit two applications: one each to the Medical School and the UTHealth School of Public Health. Applications for UTHealth School of Public Health may be obtained from the school’s Office of Admissions at the web address listed previously. Medical School applications must follow the procedure outlined in the Application Procedure section of this chapter. Candidates who submit both applications simultaneously will receive notification from both Programs before the beginning of the academic year, though notifications may occur at different times.

Applicants should submit two letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and official transcripts covering enrollment in accredited institutions of higher education to the UTHealth School of Public Health Academic Affairs and the Office of Admissions. The same letters of recommendation submitted for the Medical School application also may be submitted for the UTHealth School of Public Health application. Transcripts should be sent directly to UTHealth School of Public Health by the educational institution.

Medical students also may apply to UTHealth School of Public Health at any time during their Medical School tenure. Final acceptance to the M.P.H. program may be contingent upon satisfactory progress in the Medical School.
