Hi,
I'm in the process of figuring out whether I should apply for a MPH in epi or an MS in biostat. I've been working in the pharmacy sector for the past 3 years as a pharm tech because I thought I wanted a pharmd; however, I don't think pharmacy school would greatly benefit my career goals. Long term, I think I just want to work in the pharma industry. I love thinking about the trends/effects in medications and I've always been amazed about what you can tell about a population based on their popular medication usage. I'm very interested in how a drug is deemed effective and how drug regulations are made. I think both epi and biostat would be helpful but I'm also interested in the job prospect, especially in the west coast.
Any advices would be useful! Thanks in advance!
