I'm getting an MPH (health management) this year and looking to work in health policy/management as a physician and am not so interested in bench research. Lots of med schools talk about how they like to train "physician investigators" with a research interest, but do any have a bent toward people with a policy/management inclination?

I can't speak much about individual schools, but I would think schools that have MPH programs would have the most opportunity. There would be faculty members there who you could do some research with.

I am currently getting a masters degree in public policy, and will be applying to schools this year, and would be very interested in hearing from any SDNers who have come from a policy/management background or have these interests - thanks!
