What do you think is your purpose and mission fit? Are you specifically seeking combined MPH programs? What schools have other SNMA/MAPS members suggested?

What do you think is your purpose and mission fit? Are you specifically seeking combined MPH programs? What schools have other SNMA/MAPS members suggested?

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. I prefer combined MPH programs but am open to regular MD programs as well as I know how competitive the process can be. In the past, MAPS members have suggested schools like Creighton, Tufts, Einstein, Brown, and Hackensack but I have to reach out again to see if that has changed as it has been several months.

As for my purpose, I would say I am driven by a passion for service, science communication, and fostering health equity, particularly for underserved communities. I hope to leverage my scientific knowledge, communication skills, and artistic background to improve health outcomes and dismantle healthcare access barriers. Through an MPH/MD dual degree, I plan to gain expertise in public health policy and clinical practice, integrating creative communication strategies to enhance patient education and contribute to organizations that bridge the gap between science and underserved communities.

Check schools on your list if they host an AHEC scholars program. Check your eligibility for NHSC or HPSP.

Sorry, I am confused by your suggestions. I am applying this upcoming cycle - aren't the programs you mentioned gap year programs? I don't know too much about the programs mentioned so any detail as to why you offered what you said would be very helpful.

They are not gap year programs.

Thank you for the link! I'm looking through the directory now and it seems like an incredible program for medical students. Should I be looking for AHEC linked to medical schools specifically? Because many of the ones I am seeing are linked to a specific state like "NY State AHEC"

AHEC's come in different structures. Some are supported by medical schools. Others are not but collaborate with medical schools. Generally all AHECs work regionally with their FQHCs, but see how amenable a school is to collaborating with their AHECs as part of their mission to serve their communities.

As for how amenable the school is to this sort of collaboration, is this something that can be found on their website through some research or something you recommend me emailing about?

Do the research. You have the starting points to determine your answers as it affects your school list.

Got it, thank you. Are there any schools as you view my list currently that you would not advise to apply to given my ECs and stats? Or any schools that I should also consider?

I don't have your application and don't know you. It's best that you find the affinity to schools on your own rather than be told where to apply, even from AI bots. 🙂
