MHS em Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular

The Master of Health Science (MHS) degree program is designed for students interested in graduate-level preparation for careers in medicine, biomedical research, public health, and related health sciences. Our MHS students pursue advanced graduate work, a career in medicine, or positions in industry or public health.

The MHS program is completed in one academic year (late August through mid-May). The program’s flexible curriculum allows the opportunity to take courses throughout the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Because of the School's unique academic calendar with four eight-week terms, students have ample opportunity to take a rich variety of courses.

The MHS in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology includes courses within a core curriculum focused around biochemistry, molecular biology, reproductive biology, and the biology of disease and public health. The remainder of the courses are electives - that can be chosen based on interests and career goals. Coursework is based on a core set of basic science course requirements and electives that are highly individualized depending on a student’s background and career aspirations. Students have extensive opportunities to have one-on-one interactions with faculty and staff, for advising, career guidance, and thesis preparation. The department also has a part-time pre-health advisor who leads workshops throughout the academic year to prepare students for applying to medical school or other professional schools in healthcare. Other valuable resources include the JHSPH Career Services Office and the Student Outreach Resource Center (SOURCE).
