Ph.D. in Social Medicine is a graduate research degree that focuses on the social, economic, and cultural aspects that influence public health and healthcare systems. This curriculum, which typically lasts 3-5 years, provides intensive training in epidemiology, health policy, socioeconomic determinants of health, and community health interventions. Students undertake research to address health inequities, improve healthcare access, and develop policies that promote health equity. Graduates are prepared to work in academic research, public health, and policymaking, helping to improve health systems and advocating community-based ways to reduce health disparities and increase general population health.
