Reasons to get an MPH (especially if you're already started/finished medical school!)!

Steven talks through the reasons you might want to consider taking a year to pursue a Masters in Public Health! It's more than just about the letters! (Okay, that's part of it, but there's more we promise!).

I'm finishing my nursing BSN in a few months and also have prior degree in economics. Your advice feels pertinent and is helpful for me as well.

Hello Dr. Chen. This is very insightful. I have had my MD and MSc already. And this fall, I will be pursuing my PhD in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. After watching this video, I was motivated to pursue MPH as well after my postdoctoral fellowship.

I saw your Med-Derm residency video and I was very impressed at the time (I am an IMG who never knew a such thing as a double board exists!). I am still aspiring to get matched in Med-Derm! Also, a year ago I saw this video and I was inspired, I immediately joined the MPH program in my city - a two year degree - and here I am sending you many thanks for the inspiration

Dr. Chen, thank you for sharing your insights. I will be going a second masters in MPH and I'm really excited about it. My first was in nutrition.

Hi Dr. Chen! Thank you so much for this video, it has really helped a lot since I am currently applying to medical school and interested in possibly pursuing a MPH as well. You mentioned in your video that you got a grant through the NIH to complete your MPH, I'm curious how you found and applied for this grant?

Do we have good job prospects for MPH. Because I finished my bachelor's in perfusion technology

I finished my medical school 3 years ago and done a lot of clinical jobs as a general practitioner but now I decided to immigrate to America, maybe I need to study MPH to come there before I take USMLE

Hi Dr. Chen! Would you recommend a mph-md for someone who is interested in becoming a physician scientist focusing on non clinical research? I have a mph in Epidemiology and will be applying to Med school soon.

I will finish my degree in Health Informatics next year! So should I try master in health informatics or MPH? My goal is to get doctorate degree in Health Informatics ! Which opinion is better ?

[Zai_Fafy]

Im a med student about to graduate and looking to do an Mph. Im torn between a concentration in biostatistics or in epidemiology and i can’t seem to find information that helps to make the decision that would be beneficial when i start practicing. Please let me know what you would advise? Thank you

Is mph a good option after MBBS?

[sarahmina]

Thank you Dr Chen. Would you recommend doing MPH or master's of community health and preventive medicine for a future clinician? I don't get the difference between the programs.
