MD/MPH and doing MPH in another country?

So I'm wondering if anyone did this or knows anything about it...I'm thinking about combined MD/MPH programs - in the year that you usually take off from med school (after 2nd or after 3rd), is it possible to spend that year completing the MPH at a school in another country? So I would have some MPH courses done at whatever school I go to, and then whatever courses I would have to take during that year off, I would take in another country and not my school. Does that make sense? Anyone ever heard of it? Am I completely unrealistic? 😕

(And yes, I could go ask the specific schools where I may apply here in the US, but I figured I'd start with this forum first...)

Haven't met anyone who's done it, but it should be possible... I dunno if you'll be able to get a MPH, per se, but something of an equivalent would be feasible in a year... If I remember right, look into the School of Infectious Disease and Tropical Medicine in London... err, forget the exact name, but I think they have year-long graduate tracks in ID.

London is FUN.

Thanks, dlung. I know about that London program, it sounds like a great one - and they do grant an MPH as far as I understood. 🙂

Another vouch for London- I know a few MD/MPHs that did the MPH there. Years later, they are STILL enthused about their experience.

hey can you tell more about the mds you know that did their mph in london? i'm a 2nd year med student interested in perhaps taking a year off to do a mph...and leaving the country at the same time..

when did the people you know go? before/during/after medschool? how did they fund it? did they finish in a year? any other useful info?

thanks so much--
