Can I retake a post bacc program after a masters?

Hello Everyone 🙂 ,

I'm in a Post-bacc program for Biomedical Science and for the past year I have struggled with classes due to situations in my personal life. I got interested in getting a MPH in health policy and management or epidemiology b/c they really interest me, but my undergrad science gpa needs the undergrad courses and I need the pre-req's for med school.

I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to quit, but I'm unable to take a full science semester load due to my personal situation to show that I can handle the work and I'm already struggling with the courses I got now.

Would it be bad to postpone my post-bacc to get a Masters? I hope I'm posting in the right area because I'm already in a post-bacc program.

Any help will be appreciated.

you have your personal statement to explain why things did not go so well with your post bacc program. i think you should complte a post bacc and then when you get into med school you can get your md/mph at the same time. doing your mph before you go to med school does not really benifit you. take care

Thanks for your input. 🙂
just to ask
Do you think its possible to do both? Complete the MPH and B.S?

Edited for clarity

sorry for not being so clear. i meant you can do your md and mph at the same time. i assume that you already did your b.s

No, I have a BA in communications so I lack alot of the science courses and I am in the process of getting a BS in Biomedical Science, but I wanted to do the MPH and BS at the same time. Which I still want to do, but if it jeopardizes my chances for Med school. 😱

Thanks for answering my post. 🙂
What program are you doing for Post-Bacc? Are you doing MD/MPH?
