Not to sound conceited or anything, but yes...Temple now offers the DMD/MPH thanks to me. They have always been thinking about implementing it, but never had any students interested. But, I have been bugging them to formalize it before I start in August, and last month after a lot of email tag they confirmed that they have finalized it and that I will be the first and only one to be a part of it so far. Im interested in International dentistry and Temple offers the chance to do my practicum in Costa Rica, so hopefully Temple can become a leader in this field, and I really hope others decide to take part as well.
ALso, I just want to point out that although other schools such as Columbia, Tufts offer the dual degree, at those schools you must pay extra for it (extra 30K!!!), whereas at Temple it is free (just like their MBA)
ALthough Columbia and Tuft's MPH program are much better known, Temple is still accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health, and that is the most important thing because many MPH programs in other universities are not accredited.
So 26K/year for a DMD and a MPH is not a bad deal, eh?
