Goal for MPH?

[AspiringDoctor9]

Hihi everyone!

I'm curious about this - so I'll ask around. What is your eventual goal with an MPH degree?

1) Attend medical school afterwards.

2) Go into a public health profession.

3) Obtain another, non-medical degree afterwards (JD, MBA, etc.)

4) I am already a medical student/resident/physician and think it would provide
me valuable information and training.

5) Other (please specify).

I like this question!!

2) Go into a public health profession and work for a few years.

AND THEN

3) Obtain another, non-medical degree afterwards...(I'm thinking either MBA, DrPH, OR PhD)

Good question.

I will Work for a couple years in the PH sector hopefully with a non-profit. After that maybe do a Phd in Geography (my undergrad) and teach medical geography/GIS and do disease and demography research.

i will either do a combined MD/MPH or get my MPH right after medical school.

Work in International Health for a few years and then probably get a JD or MBA. I am leaning more towards JD at the moment as I feel I want to get involved in human rights.
