The value of MD/MPH in dermatology residency admissions?

[Blain77]

I'm curious if a derm applicant in an MD/MPH dual degree program would be viewed favorably (given everything else was up to par) during residency application time? Would that MPH matter to dermatology program directors? What could be its potential benefits?

anything that makes u unique is helpful

md/phds are really the cream of the crop though in terms of dual degrees

i was also considering getting an mph last year before i applied, but then didn't do it. i think it would have helped, although mph and derm don't go as well together as IM and derm.
