Any thoughts on whether it's worthwhile to pursue MPH or MPH/MBA? I've been out in private practice for about 6 months and can't stand the amount of patients I see seeking the Holy Trinity combo (Hydrocodone/BZD/Soma) and will be moving to academics as soon as my credentialing goes through. My question is that even before doing residency, I've been interested in public health (cultural, global) and specifically now the problem with opioid abuse (btw watched the movie Life Before Death, pretty cool movie about cancer pain, opioid abuse, etc.). Anyway, so is it worthwhile to pursue an MPH in this? I'd like to be more involved in legislature (state or beyond level) and do research once I start back in academics. There's a program where I live that I can pursue this part-time while working, and another program contacted me recently asking if I'd be interested in a dual degree, MPH/MBA (but the cost of that is over 40K!)
Anyone have any thoughts on this and whether it's even worth my time and investment?
TIA
