Hi,
There are a great many opportunities with an MPH, and quite a few fields to work in. Epidemiology, biostatistics, infectious disease in populations, health systems, health management, health policy, environmental health, maternal and child health, international health, tropical medicine, health in crisis and humanitarian assistance, social sciences, public health informatics, vaccine development, etc. One can work for universities, industry, government (local, state, federal), nongovernmental organizations (NGO's), etc.
At Hopkins, for the MPH, we have 10 departmental tracks, 22 possible certificates, and over 300 courses in the School of Public Health - this is an illustration of the breadth of this field. As a physician, I'm very glad I chose to do this.
You can find a lot of information on this board and elsewhere on the internet.
Best of luck!
