Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone knew about the types of jobs and their prospects for graduates with a MPH or MHA degree, and if I can apply with just a bachelor's degree in sciences.
Truthfully speaking, (and please no judging or harsh criticisms) I'm a little scared about completely committing myself to medical school & residencies and such only to spend the next 8+ years of my life working towards something that I might realize I may or may not enjoy doing, but I still want to work in a field related to healthcare. So before I apply to medical school I was thinking of spending some time to explore my other career options and after taking a couple of classes in public and global health, I am interested in pursuing a masters of public health degree (MPH) or Masters of Health Administration (MHA) degree. I'll have to make my decision about continuing with my medical education after the end of the year of course, but I would still like to take some time to veer off the pre-med track for a bit and see if it is truly something that I wish to do.
Thanks everyone!!
