Interprofessional Concentration

  • UConn’s MPH has a distinct concentration on Interprofessional Public Health Practice, meaning students from medicine, dental, social work, law, pharmacy, and public health train together. 
  • This reflects real-world public health: systems require collaboration across professions, and students build the skills to work in integrated teams. 
  • Students gain exposure to peers who may become colleagues in their future public health roles. 

“This fellowship has helped me grow as a future public health leader by helping me analyze many different public health resources and studies in order to adapt health programming and improve the health of populations.” – Julia Prescott, MPH ’25

What Do Public Health Students Research? | 2026 MPH Poster Session

How do public health students create real impact before graduation? At UConn, MPH students are working directly with the Keney Park Sustainability Project to support community health initiatives in Hartford, CT. Their work includes evaluating programs, improving access to healthy food, and contributing to research on WIC participation and childhood obesity prevention. This hands-on experience prepares students for careers in public health while strengthening local communities. In this video, students are seen to work with Herb Virgo, founder of the Keeney Park Sustainability Project, as he shares how his organization is reconnecting people with nature and teaching them essential skills. Learn about their efforts in promoting sustainable living by growing food and fostering a strong sense of community. - 🔗 Follow us and stay connected: 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uconnphs 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uconnaphs?i... 💼 LinkedIn: / uconnpaphs 🌐 Website: https://health.uconn.edu/public-healt... #publichealth #uconnhealth #MPH #publichealthsciences
