Additional Resources

The following resources may be useful when navigating your MD/MPH dual degree experience:

 

Enrollment

Students are required to file a Leave of Absence form from Stanford prior to pursuing their MPH, and to file a Reinstatement form prior to returning to their medical studies.  Additional questions can be directed to the Stanford Registrar’s Office.

 

Funding

Questions related to financial aid can be directed to the Stanford Financial Aid office.

Direct questions about Med Scholars to the Med Scholars Research Program.

Contact the Office of Community Engagement to inquire about the Valley and Albert Schweitzer Fellowships.

Contact the MPH institution for additional funding opportunities.

 

Housing

Health Insurance

Students retain eligibility for Stanford health insurance for the duration of an academic year in which they have been registered (including summer), but are advised to enroll in health insurance with their MPH institution when enrolled in classes there.  Direct additional questions to the Stanford Cardinal Care office or the health services office of the MPH institution.
