Hey everyone, I'm looking for advice! Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. This is my plan/thinking:
I am a junior right now and I can graduate this spring if I wanted to. I am very interested in getting a Masters in Public Health because I think it would be so useful as a physician. (I have looked into Masters in Science and I'm not as interested as public health) Instead of taking some filler classes my senior year I would rather spend time getting a Masters.
By the time I plan on graduating this spring my application for medical school would be sent and I should hear back for medical school when I am in my MPH program.
A few things hold me back:
1) Can you finish a MPH in just 1 year? I don't want to be taking MPH classes when medical school starts
2) Is this more of a con to medical schools than a plus?? (I can see the argument where 4 years of undergrad is better than 3, however at the same time I will still be in school for 4 years just not as an undergrad)
3) Cost, I'm not sure if MPH is alot more expensive or not
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated, thanks!
