Hello! I have been very lucky to have received an offer for the MD/mph program at OHSU. I am debating whether I should do the mph at OHSU which would be an extra year of time and tuition or should I stick with my other offer of a traditional MD at Netter. I think both schools are great options and would be similar cost per year. I already have a bachelors in public health and have worked in public health. I do really enjoy it, but I am not sure how necessary an mph would be at this stage? If I really wanted to go into public health, I could do an mph with a fellowship or after?
I am looking for any and all advice as someone who is not 100% sure about their future career path. Would the mph open any doors not available to mds or help with residency apps? A public health lens is great for future practice, but I already have a bachelors in pub health… is it worth the extra time and money?
** I also am not able to switch to just an MD at OHSU.
