Public Health is concerned with generating knowledge about preventing disease, promoting health, and prolonging life. The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences is the first-ever public sector effort of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to offer and launch a two-year MPH program.

Our two-year MPH program is designed to provide excellence in teaching of various subjects related to preventive health sciences, environmental and occupational health hazards, planning and policymaking, and statistical methods and concepts, with special emphasis on practical application of knowledge and methods in public health and clinical settings. It is oriented toward enabling the student to meet a set of international technical competencies and employability criteria. Our graduates can compete for jobs nationally and internationally. In doing so, we have shifted the emphasis in curriculum design from general theoretical inputs to a competency- and outcome-based approach.

We have designed the program to offer you the most interactive, informal, and encouraging environment conducive to learning. You will be encouraged to think critically, seek knowledge independently, and translate theory into practice. Our curriculum is based on the art and science of helping you learn. The principles of our educational philosophy are that you are self-directed learners, have rich experiences and knowledge on which to draw, desire to learn to better handle real-life situations, and see education as a process that increases competence and leads to the achievement of your full potential. Last but not least, every facility that makes you enjoy learning shall be at your disposal. I am confident that you will excel in this program and wish you all the best.
