Click to view Competencies

Doctoral students are required to attend Grand Rounds in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, during two quarters of their study.  Usually this is the second or later year of study.  Credit is obtained for attendance via a one course credit per term of Special Studies and Research, with the advisor as the instructor of record.

Doctoral students may substitute the Biostatistics 140.651-654 series for the 140.621-624.

All doctoral students are required to meet NIH requirements for completion of an instructional program in the responsible conduct of research.  This requirement can be satisfied with the Bloomberg School of Public Health courses 550.860 (Research Ethics) or 306.665 (Research Ethics and Integrity), or any other research ethics course offered at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI), as long as it meets the NIH guidelines, and a certification test must be passed.

All doctoral students are required to take course 550.865 (Public Health Perspectives on Doctoral Research). The course is two terms and offered the first and second term of each year.  Students have to attend one session a week - currently either Tuesday 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or Friday 2:30 to 4:00 p.m.  This course is waived for doctoral students who have earned a MPH within the last 10 years.
