MD/MPH v. DO/MPH

[hopeS.O.]

Hey guys, I was just wondering what would be the difference in obtaining an MD/MPH v. DO/MPH? I.e. what would be something that you could do with one but not the other?

OMM is literally the only thing I can think of that you can do with a DO/MPH and not as a MD/MPH.

Agree with altered.

OP you should consider the MD/DO/MPH degree. Only a few schools offer it, but I hear that lets you really maximize your scope of practice to the fullest extent.

MD/MPH will get you a bit more prestige than DO/MPH. You'll be a physician with an MPH either way at the end of the day.
