hello,
I'm a 2nd year medical student who's always been interested in lefty stuff but just recently I am seriously doubting the way medicine is set up... I am feeling a strong desire to go toward thinking about medicine as population-based. To that end, I am considering doing an MPH, perhaps during residency. I've heard that residencies might pay for you to do an MPH - is this at all true? Is anyone able to do this? And I realize this is a huge question, but what sorts of job opportunities are available for an MD interested in pop'n-based medicine (i.e. a much less hardcore Paul Farmer??) Any insight, websites, recommended reading would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks.
