Are the programs like MD/MBA or MD/MPH more, less, or equal in difficulty to get into than regular MD programs? Thanks

Usually, you need to be admitted to MD first and then are considered for the MBA etc. Same pool for all MD candidates (MD/PhD is a different story and a different pool and a very different set of criteria for admission).

Do you know if you can still get an MBA after already matriculating to the school if you are matriculating only as an MD?

Usually this is why MD/MBA or mph programs don't really have a separate criteria for assessment. It is much easier for one to adopt the MPH or MBA as a dual degree than a phd which offers incentive of full funding that is harder to receive and does require a different level of scrutiny.

It depends on the school... some arrange the MBA as a one-year, full-time program after M2 or M3 year and so you apply while in med school with the intention of taking a year off from med school to do the other degree.
