I'm very interested in the field of public health and medicine and have been contemplating doing an MD/MPH program. I just wanted to hear from different people about what they think are the benefits to having an MD and working in a public health setting and vice versa (having an MPH as a doctor).
I am passionate about both fields, yet I can only think of concrete reasons for how an mph will/can be helpful not how an MD can be useful even though it seems pretty obvious. I've met MD/MPHs and they either work only in the clinical setting or they work in the field for public health but rarely do they do both...
