Hey. I"m also considering this option, and as an older applicant the possibility of completing both degrees without an extra year is especially attractive to me. Mt Sinai also has a 4-year MD/MPH, but the students who were doing it thought it was pretty intense and a lot of work. I got the impression at NWern that the MD/MPH students weren't particularly overloaded, which makes me question how thorough the MPH part is.

As for the summer experience, I think that it involves research-- either policy or clinical research, so you wouldn't have to view it as an either/or choice.
