So, I have done an extensive amount of research and am still yet to find any definitive or useful information about this new field.
I love medicine and am very certain that an MD degree is in my future. However, I do not necessarily want to practice medicine fulltime. I want to add an MPH degree with an emphasis in either Health Policy and Management or Toxicology. I do not necessarily want to do residency and would love to go into industry.
I know all that sounds rather vague, but is this option a possibility? I ask this question in the allo forum because I want real answers from medical students who i'm sure have pondered this situation and most likely have more of an understanding of my plight. If you could please enlighten me on the lucrativity(not sure if its a word) of such a field(MD/MPH toxicology), average salaries, possible industries to work in, and any more information relevant to understanding this field.
Thanks
