MPH When would be a good time to get an MPH as a medical student?

I was not admitted into the MPH/MD dual degree program. When would be a good time to get that degree during my journey to an MD?

Um, now...while you still have the time.
Try to apply to an MPH program and I know there are some MD schools that can help you get on the track of pursuing your MD.

Well I start my MD program in 5 months so I don’t think I would have enough time to start a separate MPH program

Oh, I was under the impression that you weren't admitted to either one but congrats!
Most of my friends started their MPH after their third-year of medical clerkship. The school paid for them to get their MPH so that's something you can look into to see if your program offers it.

Wow I didn't know that was an option. I'm gonna give them a call later on today actually, thanks for responding to such an old thread!
