Are combined degree programs worth looking into? MD/MBA, MD/MPH, MD/MA (in medical ethics, humanities, etc).
I guess I was so focused on getting into a medical school up until this point that I had never given dual-degree programs as much thought. But I got some introduction to them during med school interview days and they sounded interesting.
What kind of career paths do MD/MBA or MD/MPH's go into? (as in, when people apply for those programs, what kind of career visions do they have?) Do they give you any sort of "edge" when it comes to competitiveness for residency applications? What is an MD/MA useful for?!
Any insight would be helpful
