Admissions Information and Instructions for Madigan Residents

Dear Madigan Residents:
When submitting your application for admission to the MPH program in Occupational and Environmental Medicine, please follow the modified application instructions below.

Application Deadline

To ensure priority consideration, Applicants should complete their application file with the Department and the Graduate School by January 15th for Summer quarter admission. Applications completed after January 15th may be reviewed on a space-available basis, but consideration of late applications is not guaranteed.

Step 1: Review Program Prerequisites

Before submitting an application, please review the admission prerequisites for the MPH program. Please disregard the section regarding additional requirements for applicants to the UW OEM residency program. An applicant with exceptionally strong qualifications, but who does not meet all of the prerequisites, may still be considered for admission.

The DEOHS Admissions Committee and the Occupational and Environmental Medicine program faculty will review and consider the complete file, which includes transcripts, test scores, goal statements, and letters of recommendation. The program may also ask you to schedule an interview after they have reviewed your file.

Step 2: Submit Application Materials to the UW Office of Graduate Admissions

The following should be submitted to the University of Washington Office of Graduate Admissions using the web-based application system:

  • Application for Admission to Graduate School: This application should be completed and submitted online.

    When completing the application, please apply for "summer quarter" and choose the "Environmental and Occupational Health Sci - Occ and Env Medicine (MPH)" when asked to choose a program from the drop-down menu.

    After completing this form online, please print one copy to include with the department materials listed below.
     
  • Application Fee: A $45 application fee is required when submitting the online Application for Admission to the Graduate School.

    Please note: If you are applying to more than one department at the University, you will need to submit a separate application and fee for each department.

Step 3: Submit Application Materials to the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences

After submitting your application and fee to the UW Office of Graduate Admissions, please submit the following materials to the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, Graduate Program Office, Box 357234, Seattle, WA 98195-7234:

  • Printed and signed copy of your online Application for Admission to the Graduate School (submitted above).
     
  • The Department’s Supplemental Application Form: This application can be submitted online or a pdf version can be downloaded and submitted with the rest of the department materials.

    Please indicate on the application that you are applying for the "MPH in Occupational and Environmental Medicine, without UW OEM Residency."

    On the question that asks whether or not you will require financial support to attend graduate school, please check "No" and write "Madigan Resident" in the blank.

  • One set of official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions you have attended (including community colleges). Ask the Registrar of each institution to mail to you one copy of your official transcripts in a sealed envelope. Do not open these envelopes; the transcripts will not be considered official if the Registrar’s seal is broken or tampered with. If your prior institution will not send you official transcripts, they may be submitted directly to the department. If you are admitted and enroll, you will be required to send an additional set of transcripts to the Graduate School.
     
  • A narrative goal statement indicating your reasons for seeking admission to this program and how this education fits into your long-term professional goals. The statement should be one to one and a half pages in length.
     
  • Four letters of reference from people familiar with your academic goals and potential for achieving those goals, one of which must be written by either the department chair, the head of your residency program, or your internship director. There is no form for letters of recommendation, but the letters should discuss your potential for successfully completing the graduate program. These may be sent directly to the department or can be mailed with your other application materials if they are in sealed envelopes that have been signed by the writer across the back envelope flap.
     
  • Official Copy of Dean's Letter from Medical School
  • Copy of USMLE or Medical Board Exam Scores

If you have further questions about the application requirements, please contact the Graduate Program Office at ehgrad@u.washington.edu or (206) 543-3199.
