If I plan to go into preventive medicine do I need to obtain an MPH during med school? Or will this take place during my GPM residency anyway?

No. You'll pick up an MPH during a preventive medicine residency.

If my med school is willing to fund the MPH year, is it worth doing the MPH while in med school? Can I do a preventive residency without doing an MPH?
