I decided a while back that I would take a year off before applying to med school (for various reasons...would take too long to list here). I was pretty sure that I would apply for the joint MD/MPH program whereve I went because I'm about 100% sure that public health as a doctor will be my future.
After talking to my premed advisor, it was recommended that I take additional science classes during my year off to pull my science GPA up (you can take a gander in my mdapps). So in my year off, if I decided to just go ahead and do one of these one-year MPH programs, do you think that would be a good idea? Would it look good to get the degree now, or would you think that med schools will wish that I had gotten it along with the MD at their institutions? Will the classes count toward the BCPM gpa? Again, I do not think that it would be a waste of a year since I would have done that anyway, but I just want a little feedback.
Thanks for any advice you can give. SDN has been good to me.
