In addition, during MBBS Year 3 Enrichment Year, students have new opportunities to engage in humanitarian services through a partnership with a broad spectrum of service and community organizations from the local level to supranational agencies, or to undertake an Intercalated Master of Public Health (MPH) programme to further promote and protect population health and extend their capacity to become future public health professionals and leaders
