We are transitioning to a new version of MCH at Tulane, which will allow for greater flexibility for students who are interested in protecting and promoting the health of this important population. These changes to our academic program will help graduates better meet the public health needs of the country and world with documented development of the skills and knowledge that MCH employers are seeking. We expect to be able to share more details about this exciting change soon! In the meantime, we encourage you to apply to your department of interest and make note in your application materials that you are interested in specializing in MCH.
The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program provides public health education in:
- The biological, sociocultural, behavioral, and policy issues that impact the health of the MCH population.
- A well-grounded historical context for current federal, state, and local governmental policies and services in the MCH arena.
- Underlying causes of major health problems and disparities facing the MCH population.
- Approaches to properly address these problems and the professional skills required for an MCH career whether nationally or internationally.
Students will gain the skills needed to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions with a special emphasis on women, children, and families over the lifespan. Programs will be conceptualized with sensitivity to cultural diversity within a global context.
Applicants must meet the school's admission and application requirements for entrance into master's programs at SPHTM.
