MHS en Microbiología Molecular e Inmunología

The Master of Health Science Program (MHS) is designed to meet the needs of students who require graduate-level preparation for careers in medicine, research, and public health. MMI MHS students go on to medical school, to achieve an advanced graduate education, and to take on positions in public health and industry. The MHS program is completed in one academic year. The program includes a core curriculum that focuses on the biology, immunology, clinical outcomes, and epidemiology of major infectious diseases of public health importance. MMI MHS students typically take four or five courses per eight-week term, which provide ample opportunities for students to customize their curriculum according to their area of interest by taking advantage of course offerings at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and the Carey Business School. Students have extensive opportunities to interact one-on-one with the core MMI faculty and staff for mentoring, advising, thesis preparation, and career development. For those students who declare an interest in careers in medicine and/or public health, advising and workshops are available. Other valuable resources include the BSPH Career Services Office and the Student Outreach Resource Center (SOURCE).

Students in the MHS program have the option to transfer to the ScM program if they decide to pursue a Master’s degree that includes original laboratory or field research.

MMI, in collaboration with the JHU Carey Business School, offers a special opportunity for students who may seek to apply their knowledge in infectious diseases to the biotechnology sphere. This option provides instruction focused on developing an understanding of both microeconomic theory and the processes involved in moving innovative technology from the bench to commercial application. This opportunity is designed to provide students with tools that can be applied to work in the biotechnology industry, the pharmaceutical industry, or healthcare-focused venture capital.
