It has been established that the health of a population is directly related to the availability of primary care services3. Delivery of primary care services is an important determinant of health and is therefore a global public health priority.

These individual-level services skillfully provided by primary care clinicians can be improved and enhanced by equipping those same clinicians with the population-level knowledge and skills offered by an MPH degree program
