MD/MPH advice
Salamz. Any advice on getting an MPH would be greatly appreciated. As of right now, I was thinking about taking a yr off after this yr (i'm an MS3) to get it - but am still not sure if that's a good idea; is it better to do it during residency? is it even worth it? advantages/disadvantages? good programs w/ an int'l health focus, etc? Thanks in advance.

It can help you now to get into a better residency program and a better fellowship. But if you think you can get into good programs even wothout that, it would be advisable to defer it till your fellowship.
If you want more specific advice, dont hesitate to email me. I did my Masters when I was on faculty, and it helped me tremendously in the work I do.
