i'm getting ready to apply to med school this coming spring/summer, and i've been giving a lot of thought to a combined degree program like an md/mph. i've done a lot of public health work as as international health major going to school in washington, dc, and have thought about combining this kind of track with an MD. i was just curious as to what kind of career options this might give someone later on in life. i feel like the appeal of traditional clinical practice is diminishing somewhat these days because of the craziness that is our always-changing healthcare system, so i've been giving some serious thought to what else i might be able to do with an md. any thoughts/advice in general on the md/mph track would be greatly appreciated.
