I am interested in attaining a Master’s in Public Health before going to Medical school, then?

CandyKisses asked:

Which track is better?

I am applying to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ, but I need help deciding which track will be more helpful for medical school.

Ive already decided to attain the MPH degree, but they have 3 divisions that seem relevant in helping me become a better doctor.

1.Quantitive Methods:Biostatistics and Epidemiology

2.Urban Health Adminstration

3.Health Education and Behavorial Science

Just a quick question for those that know about these things
Im not going to graduate school because I think it will boost my chances of getting into medical school. But a masters in public health is DEFINITELY a relevant degree for doctors. Thus, that is why many schools are offering MD/MPH programs now. So my question, for those out to help, is, which program would help me better IN medical school

Thanks for any info,

    I guess it depends on what you want to do with your life. Having the advanced degree won’t help you get into or through med school, so I can only assume you are looking at a career in public health.

    Whichever of the three choices best fits your future plans is what you should study.
