I am considering applying to a dual epidemiology and biostatistics MPH degree. I was told without previous experience an MPH would be a waste of time, my undergrad was in biomedical sciences. I have 3 years experience working as a tech at a hospital as I originally was looking at PA school but realized I prefer medicine at the population level over the individual. The program requires an internship so I would assume that this would help in finding a job. I talked to an advisor and voiced these concerns and she told me that with the concentration I am interested in finding a job would not be hard but from what I have read online I am skeptical. Would finding a job be almost impossible without PH experience and if so what experience would help and where would I look for positions in public health right now that would be relevant to this career path. Also I am most likely going to pursue my Phd at some point as well if this makes any difference.
