I think what you want to pursue as a career has a huge impact on the answer to that question. Do you have any ideas about what you wish to do?

Are you at NSU-COM, perchance? I'm in the BS/DO and plan on getting the MPH as I enjoy epidemiology. MSBI is more for those interested in the tech end of medicine, I think the MPH is a better compliment for a clinician and the MSBI for someone wanting to A) Do EMR implementation B) Handle technology for a hospital C) teach medical informatics or D) do industry work. I am interested in ID, especially TB and HIV/AIDS so I plan to do the MPH. It all depends on your focus.

most likely I will end up doing the DO/MPH or just DO because ms/bi is not my cup of tea...i dont like informatics even though informatics is the future of medicine
