I was wondering which dual degree will be helpful. I have a bachelors in bio, graduate in biochem. Out of curiousity, I want to know what is expected of med students pursuing dual degree. If I decide to enroll in DO/MS (public health), what extra work is expected ( in terms of years, exams, research) and how do I enroll in the dual degree? Secondary applications do not indicate anything. Thanks
 
An extra year's tuition and an application for admission into the program, usually they aren't all that hard to get into if you're already in the program and have decent grades your first year or semester of school.
An masters in public health ( MPH) will pretty much require you to spend an extra year and a summer of extra schooling.
