(Both preventive medicine and DrPH include two years of public health school. Preventive medicine also includes medical school while DrPH requires two more years of public health to get the doctorate.)
I'm wondering how doctors of preventive medicine use the education they receive in medical school. It seems that if you're working primarily on a population-based level as in preventive medicine, a deeper knowledge of public health (DrPH) might serve you better than a deeper knowledge of the human body (MD).
What is the MD used for?
