MBA vs. MPH

Members don't see this ad.

Could anyone elaborate on the difference between these two degrees, especially if paired with a PharmD? Thanks in advance.

MBA = business

MPH = epidemiology

two polar opposites

does anyone have the time and energy to give a more detailed answer:

1. is the timeframe for completion of these programs approximately the same?
2. which is more prevalent as a complement to a PharmD?
3. what management or clinical opportunities arise after completing each?
4. are they compatible with residencies or these are two separate paths?

thanks guys.

many more websites out there. i did a google search of mba mph and pharmD and got many descriptions, info etc. each pharmacy program will probably be a little different. research individual schools and whether they have dual programs, then see the requirements for each
