The Advanced Certificate in Public Health program at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is designed for:

• People who wish to take a few courses before enrolling in a graduate public health program.
• Working professionals who want to gain practical public health skills.
• People who want to transition into or advance in the field of public health.

You will learn in a collaborative environment that includes public health professionals as well as individuals from across many other landscapes. No two days are the same in our classrooms; you will learn from faculty who are experts in epidemiology, human rights, health care policy, and biostatistics.

As a student in the Advanced Certificate in Public Health program, you will take 15 credits within one school year, and choose from two concentrations of study:

• General Public Health
• Global Health

If you apply and are accepted into our Master of Public Health program, you can apply the credits that you accrued in the program toward the degree.
