Hi,
I've recently discovered about some schools offering a dual degree of PhD in clinical and MPH. My primary interest is phd in clinical psychology and I've always focused my attention on that. However, public health has always been something that has also interested me, but I thought that programs that combine these two don't exist.
I was wondering if any of you have any knowledge about these sort of degrees. What difference will it make if I just obtain a PhD than have a PhD & MPH as well. My career goal was becoming a clinical psychologist, but I also equally wouldn't mind working for the CDC and other similar agencies. I'm perfectly fine with a career in either fields.
Psychology and epidemiology both fascinates me so much, and if I could combine the two, that would be amazing. I'm currently an undergrad majoring in psychology. I will have some RA experience, as well as possibly posters by the time I graduate.
I'm also wondering about anyone's thought if I apply to these dual programs, but as a back-up apply to MPH programs and then go on to a PhD in clinical, if I don't get into the dual program. I don't want to waste a year doing nothing, waiting for the next enrollment. There have been topics about these on here, but they weren't that informative. I'm hoping more info can be provided here
I apologize if I'm asking so many questions!
