Important note for international applicants regarding academic transcripts:
All academic transcripts from institutions outside of the United States must be evaluated by a U.S.-based external credentialing service. Since it takes a credentialing service several weeks to complete an evaluation, please begin this process as soon as possible. To expedite the admissions review process, please send copies of your academic transcripts or marks sheets to the Washington University MPHS Admissions Office, in addition to submitting your academic records to a credentialing agency. When contacting the credentialing service of your choice, you will need to request a course-by-course evaluation. Some of the most frequently used credentialing agencies are AACRAO, ECE and WES.
Curriculum Vitae:
CV is required
Personal Statement:
Personal statement identifying your area of interest in clinical outcomes research and population health that would guide training and course selection if admitted to the MPHS program. The essay must also address how the MPHS will complement your clinical training and how you envision putting this specialized MPHS training to use in your career. Essays may not exceed one single-spaced page with no smaller than 11-point font.
