Community hospitals, which more closely approximate the practice environment graduates will encounter after finishing their training, are the major setting for the training experience. Community physicians are involved in the teaching process. The University of Kansas and Wichita State University offer a joint degree program to attain a Masters of Public Health. This program is targeted for people already working in the health professions with classes held on weekday evenings. By starting in the PG-2 year, a resident could complete the MPH during the three years of residency through devoting extra time and effort mostly in private study and some class time.
