The University of Texas School of Dentistry offers a dual degree MPH/DDS program, which is a strong draw for anyone interested in the public health aspects of dentistry. This program is completed through online courses, an integrated learning experience (basically a project that culminates in some sort of written final product), and a practicum. The program provides a complete background in thinking about public health issues and the means to analyze and address them. Generally the classes require many online discussion posts where students respond to open ended questions, so we have the opportunity to research, learn, and report on the public health issue we are most interested in, while also reading about issues we may not have realized existed through our classmates’ responses. The program started in 2017 and is being adjusted and I think that there is room for improvement to further integrate the public health knowledge with dental applications.
