JD/MPH Reflective Paper
In order to receive both degrees, all students in the JD/MPH program
must complete a reflective paper. This paper should be between four and
six double-spaced pages and should be written and submitted after the
student has completed the required co-op public health co-op. In the
paper, the student should reflect upon his or her experiences in the
program, especially in the ALE and co-ops, paying particular attention
to the distinctions and similarities that the student has experienced
between being a lawyer and being a public health professional. Among the
questions to be addressed are the following:
- Do the two professions analyze, understand, and resolve problems in
a compatible or distinct manner?
- What differences and tensions have you experienced between the two
roles?
- Are there ways in which your training and/or experiences in one
profession has enhanced or interfered with your ability to practice the
other profession?
- How do you expect to reconcile and integrate your two
professional roles?
Responses to these questions should be based largely upon personal
experiences in the program, although students may also draw from
experiences prior to the start of graduate study as well as course work.
This is not, however, meant to be a research assignment, but rather a
personal reflection.
Copies of the paper should be submitted simultaneously to the program
directors at both the law school and school of medicine.
