It is a place that continues to strive towards excellence and fits into my life's motto, to help improve the health and well-being of individuals and to be fluent in community-focused public health research and practice, particularly serving underserved communities. MSM is a place where your talents and dreams will be nurtured and students are given the opportunity to soar. There is a place for anyone at MSM whether it is through our M.D. Program or Graduate Education programs.
