Hey everyone:
I just got accepted the joint MPH/Medical Science masters program at Boston University. I'm very excited as I think Year 1 (the medical science - essentially a post-bacc masters taken with BU med students) will really help my chances of getting into medical school and Year 2 (the MPH) is something that will help fulfill my interests in health policy and bioethics.
I'm curious if anyone's done this program, or can comment on just the MPH side. I'm currently registered as a student in the "Health Services" concentration, but i'm unsure if I should switch. I plan on working in children's health policy after medical school, so I'm debating a switch to Child and Maternal Health track. I'm also internationally inclined, and I know BU has the int'l health repuation. The Health Law, Policy, and Ethics track is very tempting too, but I've heard they have a bit of an attitude there (although the faculty is outstanding).
Thoughts?
