    A masters degree in public health is a degree that encompasses several disciplines related to the study of health within communities and populations. Yes, I have one of these, and I use it.

    In public health, you take courses in health policy, cultural health, epidemiology, biostatistics, health behavior theory, and so forth. Usually there are no pre-reqs for MPH programs. You just have to meet a minimum GPA and GRE score and have good letters of rec and personal essay.

    I think a MPH could be good for a lawyer if you see yourself working in health policy or medical ethics.

    I am an infectious disease epidemiologist. I do research.
