MPH during gap year between preclinicals and clinicals

[HeyNapkin]

Hello

I was wondering if it's possible to do an MPH during a gap year after your preclinical years but before your clinical years.

Do medical schools even allow gap years for an MPH? If so, does it have to be at the same school?

Sorry, i've just become really interested in a MPH.

Yes, it's possible. My school does this in conjunction with the School of public health.

It's *usually* done between MS3 and MS4, and most schools will let you go away for it, but I imagine it's possible to do it between MS2 and MS3.

Yes. People do this all the time, sometimes at their school some times they take leave and do it at another school.
