This is evidenced by the recent establishment of the undergraduate major of a Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) which quickly exceeded enrollment capacity within the first years of its inception. Thereis similar unmet demand for graduate training in the public health sciences. The MPH degree is highly sought after by undergraduates, medical students, health professionals, as well as leaders in government and private industry.  \nThe MPH proposal complements existing programs within the Department exceedingly well includingthe undergraduate BSPH, the four residency training programs, the joint PhD in Public Health, and the upcoming PhD in Biostatistics. Already, the proposal has identified outstanding teaching faculty that are available to teach both core and elective courses within the MPH. With the Department’s strong background in research and teaching excellence as well as the commitment of additional FTE support, the committee believes that there are ample resources for the successful launch of the program in fall 2017.  \nThe Education Committee enthusiastically endorses the proposal and believes that this will be an outstanding addition to the campus as well as the community.  \nSincerely,  \nDustin Lillie, MD  \nProfessor  \nEducation Committee Chair, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Chief of Medical Staff, UC San Diego Health  \nProposal for a Self-Supporting Professional Graduate Degree  \nProgram in Public Health for the Master of Public Health (MPH) Degree  \nDepartment of Family Medicine and Public Health  \nSubmitted by the Education Committee of the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health  \nContact Person:  \nBess Marcus, Ph.
