If anyone has insight or info about this program please let me know. Have been considering it recently, want to make sure it is not a waste of money (or time). Thank you!

I can't see any scenario where it would benefit you, seriously. There are other schools that offer a dual DPM/MSHS program which I think is equally useless.

The only master's program I would think is worthwhile would be an MBA in healthcare administration, to let you work in a hospital administration.

Not worth the money.

Most of the podiatry schools are barely qualified to offer DPM degrees.

Get your DPM.
Get good training.
If you actually have any interest in public health apply to real MPH programs after you are practicing.

Anything that distracts or interferes with your medical/surgical judgement isn't worth it.
And the debt definitely isn't worth it.

Thank you all for the great advice. Received loud and clear!

Can't think of a worse idea. Want to be a PhD do that. Want to be a pod do that (P.S. don't). You can't be both.
