Creating a combined residency and Master of Public Health (MPH) program is feasible, but the demanding workload led to nearly one-third of participants dropping out. This innovative public health training model requires careful planning.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health Training
  • Graduate Medical Education

Background:

  • Physician training typically lacks integrated public health education.
  • Few residency programs offer opportunities to earn a public health degree.
  • The UCSF-Fresno Family Practice Program and CSU-Fresno developed a combined residency/MPH program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a combined family practice residency and Master of Public Health (MPH) program.
  • To outline the process of program initiation, goal setting, curriculum development, and applicant selection.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a dual-degree pathway allowing residents to obtain an MPH during residency.
  • Detailed the program's creation, including funding acquisition, curriculum design, and participant recruitment.

  • Established performance standards and addressed scheduling challenges for simultaneous training.

    • Main Results:

    • The combined residency/MPH program was successfully funded with developed course content.
    • Enrollment procedures were established, and 29 residents and faculty participated.
    • A significant dropout rate (nearly one-third) occurred due to the high workload of dual training.

    Conclusions:

    • Replicable combined residency/MPH programs are possible with strong university partnerships.
    • The UCSF-Fresno experience provides a valuable guide for institutions developing similar dual-degree programs.
    • Addressing the substantial workload is crucial for participant retention in integrated training models.
