Hey guys! So I'm currently going to be finishing my MPH next year most likely at BU, possibly with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health. I was wondering if anyone else had pondered the PA route after MPH school? My concerns are that I would have to take a few more science classes and then SOMEHOW find the patient experience. I've worked clinically in a hospital as a research assistant and I've done international health work abroad running and working in medical clinics. Do you think my MPH will benefit me at all in the application process? Would you still recommend going the EMT route? Let me know thoughts!
