Hi everyone. I'm a rising junior and currently contemplating whether I should still be pre-med. My heart has never been fully into it, and after taking an introductory global health and epidemiology this year, I'm starting to think I should pursue an MPH rather than med school. I've developed a strong interest for epi (specifically involving infectious disease). I've done a bit of reading online, including the posts on this site, and it appears that most high ranking officials in public health have an MPH/MD. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do in life since time seems to move much faster than I'd like, and in the future, working somewhere like the CDC or WHO would be amazing. I know having an MD would open a lot of doors, but I honestly don't think I'm willing to invest that much money and great a great deal of time if I'm not truly invested. Are there any other degree paths (such as MPH/PhD among others), that would make me a competitive applicant for jobs down the road like an MPH/MD? I know this may be a little far out but I guess it doesn't hurt to consider these things since I have to decide if I want to take the MCAT/finish my remaining pre-med reqs or not. All advice/comments are greatly appreciated
